U.S. Targets al Shabaab Leaders With Sanctions


us state department

(Worthy News) – The U.S. State Department hit East African al Qaeda affiliate group al Shabaab with a series of sanctions to hold the group accountable for recent terrorist attacks.

The State Department announced on Tuesday that it issued sanctions on two members of al Shabaab’s senior leadership, classifying them as “specially designated global terrorists.” The action freezes any assets the two have in the United States and prohibits commercial transactions between the leaders and Americans, according to the Associated Press.

The two newly sanctioned terrorists are Abdullahi Osman Mohamed and Maalim Ayman. Mohamed works as al Shabaab’s chief propagandist, senior explosives expert, and special adviser to the organization’s so-called emir. Ayman leads an al Shabaab unit that killed an American soldier and two U.S. contractors during an attack on a Kenyan military base in January. [ Source: Washington Free Beacon (Read More…) ]
