The US treasury has sanctioned a dual US-Trinidadian national along with another citizen from Trinidad and Tobago over their alleged roles in financing the Islamic State (Daesh) terrorist group in Syria.
The two, Emran Ali, the dual US and Trinidadian national, and Eddie Aleong a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago have been sanctioned for their role in the financial facilitation of the terror group that has led to the deaths of thousands and displacement of millions.
Earlier in September, the US Treasury Department announced new sanctions against four people and five entities, saying that they facilitated petroleum shipments and financing to the Syrian government and accusing one of the companies of facilitating fuel trade between the Syrian government and Daesh terrorists.
