Round 1: Inaugural sanctions against terrorist financiers in the Arabian Peninsula

In TFTC’s first joint disruptive action on October 2017, members imposed sanctions on eight individuals and one entity, targeting leaders, financiers, and facilitators of the ISIS in Yemen (ISIS-Y) and al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). This action focused on terrorists in Yemen and the surrounding region who posed a direct threat to the security of the TFTC member states, Yemen, and the international community.
