On January 16, 2009 the United States Treasury Department zeroed-in on four alleged Al-Qaeda operatives with ties to the organization's operations in Iran. The department issued executive order 13224, freezing the men's assets and prohibiting transactions between them and U.S. citizens. The purpose of such an order is to target the operatives as well as those that support them, and forces Iran to publicly accept responsibility for how it is meeting its international obligations regarding Al Qaeda. The four men, including Saleh Husain, Mustafa Hamid, Muhammad Rab'a al-Sayid al-Bahtiyti and Osama Bin Laden's son Saad bin Laden, were allegedly detained by Iranian authorities in 2003, though it is believed Sa'ad bin Laden has been away from the country since at least September of 2008.Google News (AFP): US Treasury Targets Bin Laden Son, Al Qaeda with Iran Ties (January 16, 2009)
