U.S. blacklists prominent Islamic State preacher, two others
WASHINGTON | BY YEGANEH TORBATI
The United States blacklisted three people on Thursday for working for Islamic State, including one of the militant group's most prominent ideologue and a senior oil official.
Turki al-Bin'ali was sanctioned for helping Islamic State recruit foreign fighters, the U.S. Treasury said in a statement.
Bin'ali, 31, appears regularly in Islamic State propaganda videos and authored a frequently cited biography of the group's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The sanctions freeze any U.S. assets the men might have and prohibit Americans from dealing with them.
