The Government of Guyana has frozen the assets of former PNCR parliamentarian Abdul Kadir and his co-conspirator Abdel Nur, who are currently imprisoned in the United States for plotting to blow up fuel tanks at the John F Kennedy Airport in New York.
The move is in line with the provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act and the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1373.
The two Guyanese men are the subject of a Targeted Financial Sanctions order, which was signed by Minister within the Ministry of Finance Jaipaul Sharma and gazetted on August 30. They have been identified as specified persons under Section 2 (2) (1) (A) of the Act.
