The U.S. Treasury Department in a statement said it blacklisted Arch Consulting and Meamar Construction, building on sanctions imposed this month on two former government ministers Washington accused of enabling Hezbollah. Also hit with sanctions was Sultan Khalifah As ad, who the Treasury said is a senior Hezbollah Executive Council official who provided project guidance to the companies. The United States remains committed to targeting Hizballah and its supporters as they corruptly abuse Lebanese resources to enrich their leaders while the Lebanese people suffer from inadequate services, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in the statement. The action freezes any U.S. assets of those blacklisted and generally bars Americans from dealing with them. Those that engage in certain transactions with those designated are also at risk of being hit with secondary sanctions, the Treasury said. Reuters: U.S. Blacklists Hezbollah Official, Lebanon-Based Companies The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan warned that extremists groups are planning attacks against a variety of targets but are taking particular aim at women. The warning didn t specify which organizations were plotting the attacks. But it comes as the Taliban and government-appointed negotiators are sitting together for the first time to try to find a peaceful end to decades of relentless war. The Taliban don t have any plans to carry out any such attacks, the group s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed told The Associated Press on Friday. Peace negotiations underway in Qatar, where the Taliban maintain a political office, are in the initial stages, with participants still hammering out what items on the agenda will be negotiated and when. Washington s peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said at the start of negotiations last weekend that spoilers existed on both sides. He said that some among Afghanistan s many leaders would be content to continue with the status quo rather than find a peaceful end to the war that might involve power sharing. According to the embassy warning issued late Thursday, extremist organizations continue to plan attacks against a variety of targets in Afghanistan, including a heightened risk of attacks targeting female government and civilian workers, including teachers, human rights activists, office workers, and government employees.
