US Revokes Visa Of Iraq's Former Finance Chief Arabian Post


(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> The United States has revoked the visa of former Iraq finance minister Taif Sami Mohammed Al Shakarchi after she was placed on the FBI's terrorism watchlist, marking an extraordinary reversal in Washington's treatment of an official it honoured four years ago for fighting corruption.

The State Department confirmed on Friday that Mohammed's visa had been cancelled following her placement on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Screening Database. US authorities did not disclose the information that led to her inclusion on the watchlist or specify whether she faces any criminal charge in the United States.

Mohammed is no longer in the United States. The State Department said the decision reflected the Trump administration's policy of preventing people considered suspected terrorism risks from remaining in or entering the country.
