circumstances described above
constituted an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the foreign
policy of the United States and declared
a national emergency to deal with that
threat.
The order included 28 persons in the

additional persons or entities
determined to meet certain criteria set
forth in EO 13348.

to determine that circumstances no
longer warrant the inclusion of a person
in the Annex to EO 13348 and to
unblock any property or interests in
property that had been blocked as a
result of the person’s inclusion in the
Annex.
On June 12, 2006, the Acting Director
