Intelligence Brian E. Nelson spoke with Bahrainʼs Ambassador Nancy Abdullah Jamal, Chief of
Strategic A airs at the Ministry of Foreign A airs and representative to the Executive
Committee of the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center (TFTC). Under Secretary Nelson and
Ambassador Jamal discussed the importance of working in close collaboration to disrupt the
flow of funding to terrorist groups and destabilizing actors across the region. They also
a irmed the key role of the TFTC in protecting the international financial system, particularly
through facilitating the sharing of lead information among members and through taking joint
actions—public and private—to address terrorist threats.
Under Secretary Nelson emphasized Treasuryʼs commitment to working with Bahrain and
other TFTC members to jointly counter threats posed by other destabilizing regional actors
who seek to exploit the situation on the ground. This follows his travel last week to the
Middle East, where he co-chaired an emergency meeting of the TFTCʼs Executive Committee
in the wake of Hamasʼs attack on Israel.
