Department of State
The United States is taking action against two associates of U.S.-designated Al-Qa'ida facilitator Ahmed Luqman Talib, pursuant to a sanctions authority that targets terrorist groups and their supporters.
The Department of the Treasury is designating Mohamad Irshad Mohamad Haris Nizar, a Sri Lanka-based business partner of Talib, and Turkey-based Musab Turkmen, Talib's brother-in-law and business partner.
Talib was designated in 2020 for materially assisting al-Qa'ida. Australian authorities arrested Talib in March 2021 and charged him with preparing incursions into foreign states for the purpose of engaging in hostile activities.
