Jamaica Observer: US designates Jamaican as a 'global terrorist'

Body

Treasury officials designated Abdullah Ibrahim al-Faisal as a global terrorist. The action blocks any property he has within US jurisdiction and prevents Americans from engaging in any transactions with him. Faisal is accused of recruiting individuals to travel to IS-controlled territory, providing them with contacts abroad and advice on how to evade detection by law enforcement. He is facing extradition proceedings in Jamaica. Al-Faisal, 54, was born Trevor William Forrest. He is linked to the jihadist group Authentic Tauheed, which is aligned with Islamic State, according to the Counter Extremism Project.
