Determination Pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224 
Relating to the Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion 
of Chechen Martyrs, the Special Purpose Islamic Regiment, and the

    Acting under the authority of section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224 
of September 23, 2001, as amended by Executive Order 13286 of July 2, 
2002, and Executive Order 13284 of January 23, 2003, and in 
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, 
and the Secretary of Homeland Security, I hereby determine that:
    1. The Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of 
Chechen Martyrs (a.k.a. Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage 
Battalion, a.k.a. Riyadh-as-Saliheen, a.k.a. the Sabotage and Military 
Surveillance Group of the Riyadh al-Salihin Martyrs, a.k.a. Riyadus-
Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Shahids (Martyrs));
    2. The Special Purpose Islamic Regiment (a.k.a. the Islamic Special 
Purpose Regiment, a.k.a. the al-Jihad-Fisi-Sabililah Special Islamic 
Regiment, Islamic Regiment of Special Meaning); and
    3. The Islamic International Brigade (a.k.a. the Islamic 
Peacekeeping Brigade, a.k.a. the Islamic Peacekeeping Army, a.k.a. the 
International Brigade, a.k.a. Peacekeeping Battalion, a.k.a. 
International Battalion, a.k.a. Islamic Peacekeeping International 
Brigade), have committed, or pose 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 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 need 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: February 14, 2003.
Colin L. Powell,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
