E.O. 13224 Designation of Qassim Abdullah Ali Ahmed, aka Qassim 
al-Muamen, aka Qassim Al Muamen, aka Qassim Abdullah Ali, aka Qassim 
Abdullah as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist

    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 person known as Qassim Abdullah Ali 
Ahmed, aka Qassim al-Muamen, aka Qassim Al Muamen, aka Qassim Abdullah 
Ali, aka Qassim Abdullah, 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

[[Page 41140]]

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: July 18, 2018.
Michael R. Pompeo,
Secretary of State.
