In the Matter of the Review of the
Designation of al-Qa’ida in the Islamic
Maghreb (and Other Aliases) as a
Foreign Terrorist Organization
Pursuant to Section 219 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as
Amended
Based upon a review of the
Administrative Record assembled
pursuant to Section 219(a)(4)(C) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C))
(‘‘INA’’), and in consultation with the
Attorney General and the Secretary of
the Treasury, I conclude that the
circumstances that were the basis for the
2009 decision to maintain the
designation of the aforementioned
organization as a Foreign Terrorist
Organization have not changed in such
a manner as to warrant revocation of the
designation and that the national
security of the United States does not
warrant a revocation of the designation.
Therefore, I hereby determine that the
designation of the aforementioned
organization as a Foreign Terrorist
Organization, pursuant to Section 219 of
the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be
maintained.
This determination shall be published
in the Federal Register.
Dated: May 1, 2014.

Secretary of State, Department of State.
