On Aug. 29, the Treasury Department announced that a senior Islamic State official, Salim Mustafa Muhammad al-Mansur, had been added to the US government\u2019s list of specially designated global terrorists. The move was carried out in conjunction with the Iraqi government, which seeks \u201cto bar Mansur from the Iraqi financial system and freeze any assets he may have subject to Iraq\u2019s jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mansur was identified as the Islamic State\u2019s \u201cfinance emir for Mosul,\u201d Iraq earlier this year. But according to Treasury he is not located in Iraq, as he \u201cmoved to Turkey.\u201d The US listed three locations inside Turkey \u2014 Mersin, Istanbul, and Adana \u2014 where he has been based.<\/p>\n

The US did not explain how Mansur has been able to operate inside Turkey without being arrested by local authorities. But Treasury\u2019s announcement makes it clear that American officials will continue to seek to disrupt the Islamic State\u2019s \u201cfinancial networks regardless of geographic location.\u201d<\/p>\n
