U.S. imposes sanctions against Venezuela-based Hezbollah helpers
|
(Xinhua) -- The United States said on Wednesday that it will impose sanctions against a Venezuelan official and others accused of providing financial support to the Hezbollah, an Islamic militant group in Lebanon.
The US Treasury Department's action covers Ghazi Nasr al Din, an official at the Venezuelan Embassy in Lebanon who had until recently served at his country's embassy in Syria. Other targeted are Fawzi Kan'an and two Venezuelan-based travel agencies -- Biblos and Hilal -- that he allegedly owns or controls.
Under U.S. law, any financial assets found in the United States belonging to those designated Wednesday must be frozen. Americans are forbidden from doing business with them. "It is extremely troubling to see the government of Venezuela employing and providing safe harbor to Hezbollah facilitators and fund-raisers," said Adam Szubin, director of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
