Guinea seizes the assets of Hezbollah-linked tycoons.

A prosecutor in Guinea has ordered the confiscation of the assets of two Lebanese-descent Guinean businessmen suspected of aiding the extremist group Hezbollah.
Alphonse Charles Wright, Guinea’s prosecutor, did not say whether Ali Saade and Ibrahim Taher were detained.
The seizure order came after the US Treasury sanctioned the two for alleged money laundering and terrorism funding in connection with their ties to Hezbollah, Lebanon’s Iranian-backed Shia Islamist political and paramilitary force.
The measure was “aimed at undermining Hezbollah’s economic network in West Africa,” according to the US Treasury.
