Determination Pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224
Relating to the Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion
of Chechen Martyrs, the Special Purpose Islamic Regiment, and the
Islamic International Brigade

    Acting under the authority of section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224
of September 23, 2001, as amended by Executive Order 13286 of July 2,
2002, and Executive Order 13284 of January 23, 2003, and in
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General,
and the Secretary of Homeland Security, I hereby determine that:
    1. The Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of
Chechen Martyrs (a.k.a. Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage
Battalion, a.k.a. Riyadh-as-Saliheen, a.k.a. the Sabotage and Military
Surveillance Group of the Riyadh al-Salihin Martyrs, a.k.a. Riyadus-
Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Shahids (Martyrs));
    2. The Special Purpose Islamic Regiment (a.k.a. the Islamic Special
Purpose Regiment, a.k.a. the al-Jihad-Fisi-Sabililah Special Islamic
Regiment, Islamic Regiment of Special Meaning); and
    3. The Islamic International Brigade (a.k.a. the Islamic
Peacekeeping Brigade, a.k.a. the Islamic Peacekeeping Army, a.k.a. the
International Brigade, a.k.a. Peacekeeping Battalion, a.k.a.
International Battalion, a.k.a. Islamic Peacekeeping International
Brigade), have committed, or pose 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 need 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: February 14, 2003.
Colin L. Powell,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
