[Public Notice 10459]


In the Matter of the Designation of al-Ashtar Brigades (AAB), aka 
Saraya al-Ashtar, 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 in this 
matter, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary 
of the Treasury, I conclude that there is a sufficient factual basis to 
find that the relevant circumstances described in section 219 of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (hereinafter ``INA'') (8 
U.S.C. 1189), exist with respect to al-Ashtar Brigades (AAB), also 
known as Saraya al-Ashtar.
    Therefore, I hereby designate the aforementioned organization and 
its aliases as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 
of the INA.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: June 19, 2018.
Michael R. Pompeo,
Secretary of State.
