                  US Puts Sanctions on 3 Top al-Qaida Members

   by VOA News

   The U.S. Treasury Department has announced new sanctions on three
   Iran-based senior al-Qaida leaders accused of fundraising for the
   terrorist group.

   Faisal Jassim Mohammed Al-Amri Amri Al Khalidi, Yisra Muhammad Ibrahim
   Bayumi and Abu Bakr Muhammad Muhammad Ghumayn were named by the
   Treasury as "specially designated global terrorists."

   The statement described Khalidi as a senior al-Qaida official and
   former battalion commander with links to the Pakistani Taliban, Bayumi
   as a veteran member of the terror group reported to be involved in
   freeing al-Qaida members in Iran, and Ghumayn as a senior al-Qaida
   leader who has served financial, communications and logistic roles for
   the group.

   These sanctions seize "all property subject to U.S. jurisdiction," as
   well as prohibit any U.S. citizen or U.S.-based company from engaging
   in business with those named.
