US targets al Qaeda terror financing in Iraq

Reuters:

The Treasury on Thursday levied sanctions against an Iraqi with ties to an al Qaeda-linked support network that Washington says is operating in Iraq.

The move bans Americans from dealing with Muthanna Harith al-Dari and seeks a freeze on any assets he has under U.S. jurisdiction, the department said. It added that the sanctions were carried out under a U.S. executive order that targets terrorists and those providing support to them.

Treasury said it targeted al-Dari for providing financial support and other services to al Qaeda in Iraq, including operational guidance for attacks against Iraqi Forces and Coalition Forces in Iraq.

The story does not indicate how we got evidence of the terror financing. It is possible it was revealed in evidence captured in the possession of terrorist. Hopefully the Iraqis can do more than just cut off his credit card.
