The Amendment of the Designation of Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian 
Peninsula, aka Al-Qa'ida of Jihad Organization in the Arabian 
Peninsula, aka Tanzim Qa'idat al-Jihad fi Jazirat al-Arab, aka Al-
Qa'ida in Yemen, aka Al-Qa'ida in the South Arabian Peninsula, as a 
Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entity Pursuant to Executive 
Order 13224

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Record assembled in this 
matter pursuant to Executive Order 13224 and in consultation with the 
Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of 
State concludes that there is a sufficient factual basis to find that 
al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula, also known under the aliases listed 
above, uses or has used an additional alias, namely, Ansar al-Shari'a.
    Therefore, the Secretary of State hereby amends the 2010

Designated Global Terrorist entity, pursuant to Executive Order 13224, 
to include the following new alias and other possible transliterations 
thereof:
    Ansar al-Shari'a.

    Dated: September 17, 2012.
Hillary Rodham Clinton,
