US Treasury Targets Hizballah Operatives and Financiers in South America and Lebanon

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated key Hizballah operatives and financial facilitators in South America and Lebanon. This includes Amer Mohamed Akil Rada, who was involved in the 1994 terrorist attack against the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) in Argentina. The action targets seven individuals and entities involved in generating revenue for Hizballah's terrorist activities and supporting its presence in Latin America. The Treasury Department is committed to pursuing Hizballah operatives and financiers worldwide.
