US to Seize Assets of Kenyan Woman Linked to Global Terror Group ISIS
The US has imposed sanctions against a Kenyan national linked to a global terrorist organization, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The US accuses Halima Adan Ali of moving millions of cash internationally for the terrorist group.
The Treasury Department says the Kenyan woman is part of a network that wired over $150,000 (Sh15 million) through the hawala system to Isis fighters in Syria, Libya, and central Africa.
The Department also claims Halima recruited fighters for the Somalia-based terror group Al-Shabaab and has previously been arrested twice by Kenyan police.
The US will move to seize any assets belonging to Ms. Halima and bar American citizens from financial dealings with her. She has been sanctioned alongside seven other suspects based in Europe.
“Treasury is dedicated to ensuring the enduring defeat of ISIS by cutting off all remaining sources of their terror funding around the globe,” says Sigal Mandelker, the department’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
In September last year, the US US imposed sanctions on another Kenyan, Waleed Ahmed Zein, who is also accused of running a global financial network in support of Isis.
A US Treasury Department official described Zein as “a dangerous terrorist who established an intricate global network of financial facilitators for Isis, using intermediaries to evade police and fund their deadly ambitions.”

Immigration department has sold Kenya to you know who, same people who claim to be Kenyans when they are hustlers then diss it when they succeed. Now, who can prove those two are Kenyans? Officials who process passports to everyone who bribes them ought to be flogged and swiftly sent to their maker. Huduma number will not prevent this crime from getting committed.

@MkenyaHalisi, just out of curiosity, to what extent are you involved in helping Kenyans invest in Kenya? If someone sends you to go see their kamjengo pahali when you are in Kenya, do you follow up? Do you go out of your way to do some due diligence on their behalf? Do you suggest to Kenyans where to invest? You make plenty of noise here so I would expect that you are helping your comrades out.

Yes it will send an alarm,but where it ends is what will land you in trouble. I have to honestly believe that you wife is not a sympathize of these terrorists...or for that matter yourself,not need to worry.It also raises more alarm if your name is Alhaji bin Ali...you get my drift.
USA government has resources to track who funds Alshabab,and other terrorists.
Since all these terrorists think alike,they should"demand" acounty for them selves.where there can live by themselves since they dont seem to fit,and live in harmony with other human beings.

They should sieze the assets of most Kenyan politicians. What they have done to us is akin to economic terrorism.
