According to the US Treasury department, the assets of three individuals named Maulawi Adam Khan Achekzai, Aamir Ali Chaudhry and Qari Ayyub Bashir were frozen and all US individuals are prohibited from doing business with them.
Adam and Chaudhry were involved in the production of bombs for the Taliban and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the US Treasury said in a statement.
Bashir coordinated financial support for the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it added.
“As these designations demonstrate, we will continue to work to dismantle the terrorist support networks operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan, paying special attention to those involved in the manufacture of IEDs (improvised explosive devices),” said David Cohen, US undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence. | | See Also in Political News
