The US Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on three men it says are terrorist financiers, all of whom are thought to be Kuwaitis, under Executive Order 13224 on 6 August. In a statement, the department said Kuwaiti nationals Shafi Sultan Mohammed Al-Ajmi and Hajjaj Fahd Hajjaj Muhammad Shabib Al-Ajmi had been collecting and delivering money to Al-Qaeda’s Syrian franchise Jabhat Al-Nusra; Kuwaiti media identified the third man, Abdelrahman Khalaf Ubayd Juday Al-Anizi – accused of financing and facilitating the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) – as another Kuwaiti. Hajjaj Al-Ajmi was also included on UK and UN sanctions lists in August.
