A day before, the United States appointed the Bla and its alias, the Majeed Brigade, as foreign terrorist organizations (FTO), the State Department issued a statement on its website.
The statement also said that the Majeed Brigade has also added as alias to the previous Global Terrorist (SDGT) list of Bla, which makes it a crime in the United States to provide support to the groups.
Bla was first designated as SDGT in 2019 after multiple terrorist attacks. Since then, the group has attributed the responsibility of more violent incidents, including the attacks carried out by the Majeed Brigade, the statement added.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, declared that today’s action underlines the commitment of the Trump administration to counteract terrorism. “Terrorist designations play a fundamental role in our fight against this scourge and are an effective way to reduce support for terrorist activities,” Rubio said.
