According to AP, The United States accused a Kurdish group operating in the border region between Iraq and Iran of being controlled by terrorists and moved to financially isolate the group.
The Treasury Department leveled the allegation Wednesday against Free Life Party of Kurdistan, or PJAK, saying it is controlled by the terrorist group Kongra-Gel, or KGK, which also goes by the name of Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK.
The action means that any bank accounts or other financial assets found in the United States belonging to PJAK must be frozen. Americans also are forbidden from contributing money or doing business with the organization.
“With today’s action, we are exposing PJAK’s terrorist ties to the KGK and supporting Turkey’s efforts to protect its citizens from attack,” said Stuart Levey, Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
The department said that PJAK was created to appeal to Iranian Kurds and that Kongra-Gel had selected five of its leaders to serve as PJAK leaders, including Hajji Ahmadi, a KGK affiliate who became PJAK’s general secretary.
For more than 20 years, KGK has been involved in targeting Kurdish government security forces, local Turkish officials and villagers who oppose the KGK in Turkey, the U.S. government said. Turkish authorities allege that KGK is also responsible for dozens of bombings since 2004 in western Turkey.
