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 the 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 notices of these additional 
blockings have been published in the Federal Register.
    Additional Designations. On November 18, 2002, the Office of 
Foreign Assets Control, acting pursuant to authorities set forth in the 
Order, designated three additional entities whose property and 
interests in property are blocked. The names of these additional 
entities 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 designation by the Office of Foreign Assets Control pursuant to 
Executive Order 13224 of these additional entities listed below is 
effective on November 18, 2002. All property and interests in property 
of any designated person, including but not limited to all accounts,

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exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in, and all transactions or
