The United States government has frozen the assets of 19 Kenyans linked to terrorism and drug trafficking.
Their names are contained in the Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) and Blocked Persons List published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Tuesday.
The US blocks the assets belonging to individuals named on the list and American nationals are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
Some of the Kenyans named in the list include Adam Sheikh Hassaan Hussein, Al Masri Abd Al Wakil, Ali Halima Adan (4 alternative Kenyan ID Numbers), Ali Hassan, Al-Nubi Abu, Elbishy Moustafa Ali and Fadhil Mustafa Mohamed.
Others are Fadil Mustafa Muhamad, Fazul Mustafa, Hussein Sheikh Hassaan, Jihad Abu, Man Nu, Mohammed Mustafa, Omar Hassan Mahad, Omar Hassan Mahat, Anis Abu, Hussein, Khalid, and Yussrr Abu.
As part of its enforcement efforts, OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific.
OFAC said some of the individuals are based in Kenya while others live in Somalia and other countries like Egypt but still hold Kenyan Identification cards.
OFAC, a financial intelligence and enforcement agency of the US Treasury Department, is tasked with administering and enforcing economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, and international narcotics traffickers.

What confounds me is when Muslim apologists say that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism.Well for what I have read,and from what I see, I disagree.That said, Iam in no ways saying that all Muslims are terrorists or condone violence.
Granted that history shows that some religions in the past have done untold harm to humanity in the name of religion. Fast foward to current era,and it appears that its only people of Islam faith that are committing most of terrorist acts.So what is in Islam that makes that religion different,or intolerant,compared to others?
