The Trump administration has targeted an Australia-based gemstones dealer for acting as a financial facilitator for the terrorist group al-Qaida.
The Treasury said Monday it has sanctioned Ahmed Luqman Talib and his Talib and Sons gemstones company in Melbourne for providing assistance in moving people and finances around the world to further the objectives of al-Qaida, a militant organization the United States designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 1999.
