    Concern is growing in Washington about the possible re-emergence of al-Qaeda.

According to the US Treasury Department, on Thursday the US imposed sanctions on five al-Qaeda supporters working out of Turkey to provide financial services and travel aid to the militant group.

"These targeted sanctions highlight the United States' unwavering commitment to sever financial support to al-Qaeda," disclosed Andrea Gacki, director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

She added that the US will continue to collaborate with its foreign partners, including turkey, to expose and disrupt the financial support networks of al-Qaeda.

The list included Majdi Salim, an Egyptian-born lawyer based in Turkey, who is identified as a primary facilitator of a range of al-Qaeda activities in Turkey by the Treasury. 

Others were Muhammad Nasr al-Din al-Ghazlani, an Egyptian financial courier who used cash transfers to support al-Qaeda and Turkish citizens Nurettin Muslihan, Cebrail Guzel, and Soner Gurleyen.
