US blacklists companies accused of Hezbollah ties: 10-07-14 The United States moved Thursday to blacklist a group of companies it claimed covertly helped Lebanons powerful Hezbollah movement acquire components for surveillance drones. The US Treasury placed sanctions on Beirut- based Stars Group Holding, which it said purchased electronics and other technology via offices in China and Dubai to support Hezbollahs military operations. That included the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that the Treasury claimed were used against rebels in Syria and for surveillance of Israeli sites. The material bought by Stars Group included engines, communications, electronics, and navigation equipment acquired from suppliers in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. It named for sanctions the company, its subsidiaries, its owner, executives Kamel Amhaz and Issam Amhaz, and two Stars Group managers, Ayman Ibrahim and Ali Zeaiter. The sanctions place a freeze on any of their assets under US jurisdiction. SOURCE- SJTEAM RESISTANCE MEDIA AL-AKHBAR
