US, Turkey Sanction Facilitators of Terrorism Groups

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week sanctioned two financial facilitators of sanctioned Syria-based terrorist groups Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and Katibat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (KTJ). The designations, imposed alongside the Turkish government, target Omar Alsheak, a senior HTS leader, and Istanbul-based Kubilay Sari, who works on KTJ fundraisers to buy weapons systems, including firearms and mortars.
