WASHINGTON — A former Iraqi finance minister who received an “International Women of Courage Award” at an event headlined by then-first lady Jill Biden and then-Secretary of State Tony Blinken has landed on the FBI terrorist watchlist. Taif Sami Mohammed al-Shakarchi, who received the award in March 2022, was celebrated as a “front-line leader against corrupt practices” — but is now banned from entering the US as a security threat, Fox News first reported Friday. 3 Taif Sami Mohammed al-Shakarchi is pictured in an undated photo.
