Treasury Designates Canadian and Sudanese National for Support to al Qaida

The U.S. Department of the Treasury today designated Abu Sufian Al-Salamabi Muhammed Ahmed `Abd Al-Razziq, a Canadian and Sudanese citizen, for his high-level ties to and support for the al Qaida network. Today's action was taken pursuant to Executive Order 13224, which is aimed at prohibiting transactions with terrorists and their supporters and freezing their assets.

"Treasury continues to take action against al Qaida and its support network," said Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Daniel Glaser. "Abd al-Razziq has been closely tied to senior al Qaida leadership. We are taking steps to inhibit his ability to harm the United States and our allies."

`Abd Al-Razziq has provided administrative and logistical support to al Qaida, and has been identified as being close to Abu Zubayda, a former lieutenant of Usama bin Ladin, involved in al Qaida recruitment and training.

Today's designation of `Abd Al-Razziq, carried out by the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), was executed under Executive Order 13224, an authority that targets the assets of terrorists and their financiers. Al Qaida was designated a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) pursuant to Executive Order 13224 on September 23, 2001.
