A Filipino and two other Southeast Asians who appeared in a 2016 Islamic State (IS) video showing the beheading of three captives were added to the US Treasury’s sanctions blacklist yesterday.

On Friday, the US Department of the Treasury said Filipino Mohammad Reza Lahaman Kiram, Malaysian Mohamad Rafi Udin and Indonesian Mohammed Karim Yusop Faiz all took part in the June 2016 video made in Syria in which IS members executed prisoners through beheading.

US Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence Sigal Mandelker said the video was “part of a propaganda campaign to attract radicals to join militant terrorist groups in Southeast Asia.”

“We are sanctioning these terrorists along with our UN [United Nations] and international partners as part of a coordinated effort to counter IS’s global networks that enable the group to recruit foreign fighters to conduct international terrorist attacks,” Mandelker said.

The US agency said all property and interests in property of the three militants US jurisdiction are blocked and US persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.

“All UN member states are obligated to freeze the assets, deny access to the international financial system and prohibit the travel” of the trio, the US government said.

Kiram, 28, was believed responsible for the bombing of a bus in Zamboanga, Philippines in 2012. He was still in Syria fighting for Islamic State as of January 2017, the Treasury department said.

Udin, 52, is a well-known Malaysian militant, having been detained from 2003 to 2006 for his association with the radical Islamist group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI).

As of last November, he was believed to be the most senior Malaysian in the IS in Syria, the Treasury said.

Faiz, 49, was imprisoned in the Philippines for nine years on explosives and weapons charges. After being released he traveled to Syria in 2014 where he joined the IS.
