DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 10993]


Designation of Laith al-Khazali as a Specially Designated Global 
Terrorist

    Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 
1(a)(ii)(A) of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended 
by Executive Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, Executive Order 13284 of 
January 23, 2003, and Executive Order 13886 of September 9, 2019, I 
hereby determine that the person known as Laith al-Khazali, also known 
as Layth al-Khaz'ali, also known as Layth Hadi Sa'id al-Khazali, also 
known as Layith Hadi Sa'id al-Khaz'ali, is a foreign person who has 
committed or has attempted to commit, or poses a significant risk of 
committing, or has participated in training to commit, 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 needs to 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: January 2, 2020
Michael R. Pompeo,
Secretary of State.
