US to freeze 'terror financier's' assets >From correspondents in Washington February 16, 2005 From: Agence France-Presse THE US has moved to freeze assets of a Kuwaiti man suspected of raising money for an anti-American insurgency in Iraq and financing a 2002 bombing of a French tanker off the coast of Yemen. An executive order issued by the Treasury Department designated Muhsin al-Fadhli supporter of terrorism and instructed US financial institutions to freeze all assets he might have in the country. The Bush administration will also ask the United Nations to add Fadhli, who has at least four aliases, to a list of known terrorists tied to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network and the deposed Taliban radical Islamic movement that ruled Afghanistan until late 2001, Treasury officials said. If successful, the move will subject Fadhli to similar sanctions all around the world. Fadhli is seen as a key fundraiser for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the elusive leader of the Iraqi insurgency that has been gathering strength in recent months targeting not only US troops but also members of Iraq's fledgling security forces as well as other perceived collaborators with occupation forces. US officials said they believed Fadhli was the man the behind the idea of making video recordings of rebels' attacks and playing them on Arab television channels to solidify support for the insurgency among key regional financiers of terrorist activities.
