Background

    On September 23, 2001, President Bush issued Executive Order 13224 
(the ``Order'') imposing economic sanctions on persons who commit, 
threaten to commit, or support certain acts of terrorism. In an annex 
to the Order, President Bush identified 12 individuals and 15 entities 
whose assets are blocked pursuant to the Order (66 FR 49079, September 
25, 2001). Additional persons have been blocked pursuant to authorities 
set forth in the Order since that date and notice of such published in 
the Federal Register.
    Further Additional Designations. On May 3, 2002, the Secretary of 
the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the 
Attorney General, acting pursuant to authorities set forth in the Order 
designated ten further additional persons whose property and interests 
in property are blocked. The names of these further additional persons 
are set forth in the list below. Persons, and their known aliases, will 
be added to appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V, through a separate Federal 
Register notice, as ``specially designated global terrorists'' 
identified by the initials ``[SDGT]''. Appendix A lists the names of 
persons with respect to whom transactions are subject to the various 
economic sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign 
Assets Control.
    The designations by the Secretary of the Treasury of the further 
additional persons listed below pursuant to Executive Order 13224 are 
effective on May 3, 2002. All property and interests in property of any 
designated person, including but not limited to all accounts, that are 
or come within the United States or that are or come within the 
possession or control of United States persons, including their 
overseas branches, are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, 
exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in, and all transactions or 
dealings by U.S. persons or within the United States in property or 
interests in property of any designated person are prohibited, unless 
licensed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control or exempted by 
statute.
    In Section 10 of the Order, the President determined that because 
of the ability to transfer funds or assets instantaneously, prior 
notice to persons listed in the Annex to, or 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. The President further determined that no prior 
notification of a determination need be provided to any person who 
might have a constitutional presence in the United States. In 
furtherance of the objectives of the Order, the Secretary of the 
Treasury has determined that no prior notice should be afforded to the 
subjects of the determinations reflected in this notice because to do 
so would give the subjects that opportunity to evade the measures 
described in the Order and, consequently, render those measures 
ineffectual toward addressing the national emergency declared in the 
Order.
