In the Matter of the Designation of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Also 
Known as Ansar Jerusalem, Also Known as Supporters of Jerusalem, Also 
Known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdes, Also Known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, Also 
Known as Jamaat Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, Also Known as Jamaat Ansar Beit 
al-Maqdis fi Sinaa, Also Known as Supporters of the Holy Place, as a 
Specially Designated Global Terrorist Pursuant to Section 1(b) of 
Executive Order 13224, as Amended

    Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 1(b) 
of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended by Executive 
Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive Order 13284 of January 23, 
2003, I hereby determine that the organization known as Ansar Bayt al-
Maqdis, also known as Ansar Jerusalem, also known as Supporters of 
Jerusalem, also known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdes, also known as Ansar Beit 
al-Maqdis, also known as Jamaat Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, also known as 
Jamaat Ansar Beit al-Maqdis fi Sinaa, also known as Supporters of the 
holy place, committed, or 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: March 28, 2014.
John F. Kerry
Secretary of State, Department of State.
