The United States has announced sanctions on two Islamic State (IS) chemical weapons experts, in the first such effort to specifically target the terrorist group’s chemical weapons leadership.
The new sanctions, which would bar access to any property or interests under the US jurisdiction, target Attallah Salman ‘Abd Kafi al-Jaburi and Marwan Ibrahim Hussayn Tah al-Azawi, two ISIS leaders involved in the development of chemical weapons, according to a State and Treasury Department’s statement on Monday.
Al-Jaburi was a senior ISIS leader, who oversaw some of the terror group`s improvised explosive device factories while also being involved in the development of chemical weapons in Iraq, according to the statement.
