U.S. Treasury Targets Hizbullah Financiers
(The Hill) Sylvan Lane - The Treasury Department on Wednesday targeted two individuals and three European companies under sanctions meant to dismantle Hizbullah's international financial network. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) targeted Wael Bazzi of Belgium and Hassan Tabaja for operating companies and conducting business transactions on behalf of two top Hizbullah financiers. OFAC also designated three companies - two in Belgium and one in the UK - for serving as fronts for Hizbullah business activities.
