Start Preamble
Based upon a review of the administrative record assembled in this matter pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189 (“INA”), and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, I have concluded that there is a sufficient factual basis to find that al-Qa'ida in Iraq, also known under the aliases listed above, uses the additional alias Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ad-Dawla al-Islamiyya fi al-'Iraq wa-sh-Sham, also known as Daesh, also known as Dawla al Islamiya, also known as Al-Furqan Establishment for Media Production, as its primary name. I have further concluded that there is a sufficient factual basis to find that Al-Nusrah Front, also known as Jabhat al-Nusrah, also known as Jabhet al-Nusra, also known as The Victory Front, also known as Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant is no longer part of al-Qa'ida in Iraq.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 219(b) of the INA, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(b)), I hereby amend the designation of al-Qa'ida in Iraq as a foreign terrorist organization to include the following new aliases: Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ad-Dawla al-Islamiyya fi al-'Iraq wa-sh-Sham, also known as Daesh, also known as Dawla al Islamiya, also known as Al-Furqan Establishment for Media Production; and remove the following aliases: Al-Nusrah Front, also known as Jabhat al-Nusrah, also known as Jabhet al-Nusra, also known as The Victory Front, also known as Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant.
This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.
