The alleged cell is apparently led by led by Farhad Hoomer, who was sanctioned by the US in March this year
Washington on Monday announced sanctions targeting members of an Islamic State cell operating in South Africa as well as companies they control, in retaliation for their support of the terrorist group.
Four Durban men were named by the US Treasury on Monday as allegedly being part of an Isis cell in South Africa. Four companies linked to the men have also been added to US sanctions lists, as part of a US crackdown on the alleged emergence of Africa as a key site of Isis renewal.
The move blacklists four individuals and eight companies, freezing any US assets and denying them the ability to use the US financial system.
