DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 7211]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of the Armed 
Islamic Group and All Associated Aliases as Foreign Terrorist 
Organizations 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 the circumstances that were the basis 
for the 2003 re-designation of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) as foreign 
terrorist organization have changed in such a manner as to warrant 
revocation of the designation. Although the GIA no longer meets the 
criteria for designation as a foreign terrorist organization, its 
remnants and some senior leaders have joined al Qa'ida in the Islamic 
Maghreb (AQIM), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.
    Therefore, I hereby determine that the designation of the Armed 
Islamic Group as a foreign terrorist organization, pursuant to Section 
219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189), 
shall be revoked.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: September 28, 2010.
Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Secretary of State.
