美國製裁幫助敘利亞恐怖分子的一名個人和一個組織

The U.S. on Thursday imposed economic sanctions on a French chemical weapons expert and an Uzbek fighting force, claiming they were supporting terrorists in the Syrian civil war.

The State Department declared both Joe Asperman, described as "a senior chemical weapons expert" for Islamic State, and Katibat al-Imam al-Bukhari, the Uzbek group, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.

The blacklisting freezes any assets they may have in the United States and bars Americans from any transactions with them.

The State Department said Asperman "oversaw chemical operations production within Syria for ISIS and the deployment of these chemical weapons at the battleFront."

It described Katibat al-Imam al-Bukhari as "the largest Uzbek fighting force in Syria." The State Department said the group "has played a significant role in the fighting in northwestern Syria, fighting alongside groups including al-Nusrah Front," al-Qaida's affiliate in Syria and already a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.

The State Department said that last April, the Uzbek group "published a video showing armed men taking part in clashes, and in December 2015, posted a video of a training camp for children, where children are taught to handle and fire weapons."美國星期四宣佈對一名法國化學武器專家和一個烏茲別克戰鬥組織實施制裁，稱他們在敘利亞內戰中支持恐怖分子。

美國國務院宣佈，被稱爲伊斯蘭國“高級化學武器專家”的喬·阿斯珀曼以及烏茲別克武裝組織“伊瑪目布哈里軍”爲“特別認定的全球恐怖分子”。

這一措施將凍結他們可能在美國存有的任何資產，並禁止美國人和他們有任何交易。

美國國務院表示，阿斯珀曼“監管在敘利亞爲伊斯蘭國製造化學武器，以及在戰場上部署這些化學武器。”

美國國務院稱“伊瑪目布哈里軍”是“在敘利亞最大的烏茲別克戰鬥組織”。國務院表示，該組織“在敘利亞西北部的戰鬥中發揮了重要作用，與其一道戰鬥的包括努斯拉陣線等組織”，努斯拉陣線是基地組織在敘利亞的分支，已經被美國列爲外國恐怖組織。

美國國務院表示，該烏茲別克組織去年4月“公佈了一段視頻，顯示武裝男子參與了衝突，在2015年12月，還在網上張貼了一段兒童訓練營的視頻。兒童在營地被教授如何使用武器。”
