Hajjaj bin Fahd al Ajmi was listed on 15 August 2014 pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 4 of resolution 2161 (2014) as being associated with Al-Qaida for “participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf of, or in support of” Al-Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant (QDe.137).
Hajjaj bin Fahd al Ajmi serves as a focal point for financial donations to Al-Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant facilitators in Syria. He agreed to provide financial support to Al-Nusrah Front in exchange for installing Kuwaitis in that group’s leadership positions. Al Ajmi travels regularly from Kuwait to Syria to engage in financial activity on behalf of Al-Nusrah Front and to deliver money to the group. He is responsible for at least one Twitter fundraising campaign. In early January 2014, he offered Al-Nusrah Front money to lead a military campaign in Homs, Syria. During summer 2013, he was photographed in Latakia Governorate, Syria, with terrorist fighters. In the same period Al Ajmi provided financial support to Al-Nusrah Front, the Army of Emigrants and Supporters (QDe.148) and Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, listed as Al-Qaida in Iraq (QDe.115), through his support to the Operation “Rescue the Syrian Coast”. Al Ajmi is also in contact with a main financier linked to Al-Qaida.
