2015-07083. In the Matter of the Designation of Aliaskhab Kebekov, Also Known as Aliaskhab Alibulatovich Kebekov, Also Known as Sheikh Ali Abu Muhammad ad-Dagestani, Also Known as Sheikh Abu Muhammad, Also Known as Abu Muhammad Ali ad-Dagestani, ...

Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended by Executive Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive Order 13284 of January 23, 2003, I hereby determine that the individual known as Aliaskhab Kebekov, also known as Aliaskhab Alibulatovich Kebekov, also known as Sheikh Ali Abu Muhammad ad-Dagestani, also known as Sheikh Abu Muhammad, also known as Abu Muhammad Ali ad-Dagestani, also known as Abu Mukhammad Aliaskhab, also known as Magomed Kebekov, also known as Ali Abu Muhammad al Dagestani, also known as Ali Abu Muhammed al-Dagestani, also known as Ali Abu-Mukhammad, also known as Ali Abu Mukhammad, also known as Ali Abu Muhammad, also known as Abu-Muhammad al-Qawqazi, also known as Abu Mukhammad Kebekov committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States.

Consistent with the determination in section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that “prior notice to persons determined to be subject to the Order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States would render ineffectual the blocking and other measures authorized in the Order because of the ability to transfer funds instantaneously,” I determine that no prior notice needs to be provided to any person subject to this determination who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, because to do so would render ineffectual the measures authorized in the Order.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register.

Dated: March 18, 2015.

John F. Kerry,

Secretary of State.
