[Public Notice: 11309]


Designation of Isma'il Fu'ad Rasul Ahmed as a Specially 
Designated Global Terrorist

    Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 
1(a)(ii)(B) of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended 
by Executive Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, Executive Order

[[Page 3227]]

13284 of January 23, 2003, and Executive Order 13886 of September 9, 
2019, I hereby determine that the person known as Isma'il Fu'ad Rasul 
Ahmed, also known as Abdallah Kurdi, is a foreign person who is a 
leader of al-Qa'ida Kurdish Battalions, a group whose property and 
interests in property are concurrently blocked pursuant to a 
determination by the Secretary of State pursuant to Executive Order 
13224.
    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 6, 2021.
Michael R. Pompeo,
Secretary of State.
