| Treasury Adds Yemeni National to List |
| 2004-02-24 |
| The Treasury Department on Tuesday added a Yemeni national described as a "loyalist" to Osama bin Laden to the government’s list of people suspected of supporting terrorist activities. Another Yemeni, must be the water. The department said that Sheikh Abd-al-Majid al-Zindani, who also goes by a number of aliases, "has a long history of working with bin Laden, notably serving as one of his spiritual leaders." The department said he has actively recruited for al-Qaida’s terrorist training camps and played a role in the purchase of weapons for al-Qaida and other terrorists. Sounds like a good target to me. The designation means any financial assets belonging to al-Zindani found in this country must be frozen. It also means he is prohibited from conducting any financial transactions in the United States and Americans are barred from doing business with him. The United States also planned to ask the United Nations to add al-Zindani to its blocking list, which is honored by member countries. Well, more or less. |
