Default Bigley murderers' 'funds' frozen

Any assets held in Britain by the group which kidnapped and murdered British engineer Ken Bigley are to be frozen.
Chancellor Gordon Brown told the Bank of England to give the order to all financial institutions on Thursday.
Brown made a big deal of this announcement. My question is why on earth is this only happening now? I think that most of us live under the impression that this would happen the instant they get a whiff of a terrorist organisation. This is weeks too late. I can't believe that it has taken them so long to get to this stage.
