Monday's sanctions named key members of the ISIS-affiliated Addu City cell, which has attempted to carry out terrorist attacks since at least 2018, Washington said. Jinaau Naseem, the self-proclaimed leader of the cell, has provided financial support to foreign terrorist fighters in Syria.Other members of the cell are accused of planning an IED attack, producing propaganda and enabling the travel of members to Syria. They were also designated by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control for having assisted ISIS with financial or technological support.The new sanctions also named people participating in a Maldives-based gang that helped fund ISIS activities and prepare potential members to be sent to areas of conflict.“The United States is committed to denying funding and resources to these terrorist support networks and countering the threats they pose both locally and internationally,” said Brian Nelson, undersecretary of the Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.The announcement comes after Washington designated an ISIS-Somalia finance leader last week with the aim of disrupting the group's “ability to generate, store and move funds”.ISISSanctionsUSMaldivesView from DCThe inside scoop from The National’s Washington bureauBy signing up, I agree to The National's privacy policyBy signing up, I agree to The National's privacy policyEditor's picksExclusiveGovernment told hazardous material at camp poses high risk to asylum seekersUAE launches initiative to preserve the nation's modern architectureTemperatures to reach up to 50ºC across Saudi Arabia this weekErik ten Hag Q&amp;A: When I came in at United standards were not rightSupreme Court condemns police delay in Manipur sexual assault reportMore from the national
