Senegal, Morocco, Caymans added to FATF watchlist

An international agency that monitors terrorism funding kept North Korea and Iran as the only two countries on its blacklist but added four new places to its watchlist for increased monitoring, the organisation’s president said February 25. The Financial Action Task Force, or FATF, added Morocco, Burkina Faso, Senegal and the Cayman Islands to the watchlist during a plenary session this week, and kept Pakistan on the list despite the country’s progress, the agency’s president, Marcus Pleyer, said.
