US Treasury sanctions 4 Al-Nusra Front leaders
The US Treasury said on Thursday it had imposed sanctions on four leaders of Al-Nusra Front under regulations targeting people suspected by the US of engaging in terrorist activity or supporting terrorist groups.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control said the sanctions were aimed at disrupting Al-Nusra Front’s military, recruitment and financing activities.

The regulations bar US citizens from engaging in business with people sanctioned by the office. The Treasury’s actions were made in coordination with the US State Department, which on Thursday named Jabhat Fatah Al-Sham as an alias of Al-Nusra Front.

The US considers Al-Nusra Front to be Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria.
