U.S. sanctions leader of Mali Islamist militant group
|
 [Jpost] The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on the leader of an Islamist murderous Moslem group in Mali called the Macina Liberation Front,
| ...one of the local groups within Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Moslemin (JNIM), the regional umbrella affiliated with Al Qaeda in North Africa. MLF draws from the cattle-herding Fulani tribe extant in Mali, Niger, and Nigeria, which appeared in 2015 for the purpose of jihading against the farming tribes of Dogon and Bambara |
the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement on its website on Thursday.
The sanctions target Amadou Koufa, a Salafist preacher and leader of the al Qaeda-linked group operating in Central Mali. French officials last year had said the murderous Moslem leader had died in a raid in the former French colony, but he appeared in a propaganda video in February.
U.S. sanctions block any assets Koufa may have under U.S. control and bars any persons or entities in the United States from any dealings or transactions with him.
U.S. officials in July added two other leaders of an al Qaeda affiliate in Mali to its global terrorism list.
