OFAC Adds Three Syrian Entities to SDN List
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) recently added three Syrian entities to the List of Specially Designated Nationals (SDN List). The three entities, the Higher Institute of Applied Science and Technology (HIAST), the Electronics Institute, and the National Standards and Calibration Laboratory (NSCL), were designate as WMD proliferators under Executive Order 13382 since they are affiliated with the the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC), the Syrian government agency responsible for developing and producing non-conventional weapons and the missiles to deliver them.
