Arabia
US adds Qatari and Yemeni groups to terror list
2013-12-20
[Shabelle] The US on Wednesday imposed sanctions on two Al Qaeda supporters and added Death Eaters to its lists of terrorists.

The Treasury Department sanctioned Abdul Rahman Bin Umair Al Nuaimi in Qatar and Abdul Wahhab Mohammad Abdul Rahman Al Humaiqani in Yemen by naming them as specially designated global terrorists.

Al Nuaimi is a suspected terrorist financier and controller who allegedly has provided money and support and conveyed communications to Al Qaeda and its affiliates in Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen for more than a decade.

Al Humaiqani allegedly used his position as head of a Yemen-based charity to raise money, including funds sent to the group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. He also is accused of facilitating financial transfers from Al Qaeda supporters in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
to Yemen.

The Treasury action freezes any assets the two individuals might have under US jurisdiction and prohibits Americans from doing business with them.

The State Department designated as a global terrorist Osamah Amin Al Shibabi, an associate of a Death Eater group in Leb that has called for Islamist law to be instituted in the Paleostinian refugee camps and for the destruction of Israel.

Also designated was the Death Eater group called Al Mulathamun Battalion, which became a separate organization in late 2012 after its leader split with Al Qaeda. A team of fighters within the battalion grabbed credit for the January attack against a natural gas facility in Algeria. The four-day siege resulted in the death of at least 38 civilians, including three Americans. Seven other Americans escaped the attack.

The State Department designations bar anyone from providing support or resources to the two designees.

#1  After all, there's plenty of sanctions available now that the White House dropped them against Iran.
