NCTC assess terrorism facilitators list

The National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC) has begun assessing the individuals and companies listed by the US Department of the Treasury as terrorism facilitators and funders.

The Department of the Treasury on Tuesday issued out a list of 20 Maldivian individuals and 29 companies that are believed to have ties to ISIS, ISIS-K and al-Qaeda and have been funding their terrorism activities in the Maldives. The US government effectively placed sanctions on the individuals and companies.
