[Public Notice: 11282]


Designation of Saraya al-Mukhtar as a Specially Designated Global 
Terrorist

    Acting under the authority of and in accordance with sections 
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 Saraya al-Mukhtar, also known 
as Saraya al-Mokhtar, also known as SaM, also known as al-Mukhtar 
Brigades, also known as AMB, also known as Al-Mukhtar Companies, also 
known as Bahraini Islamic Resistance Al-Mukhtar Companies, also known 
as Bahraini Islamic Resistance, also known as Al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya 
al-Bahrania, is a foreign person who poses 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 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: December 9, 2020.
Michael R. Pompeo,
Secretary of State.
