Terrorist Groups

These groups are a subset of the US State Department's Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list. Groups on this list have been designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended. In the words of the State Department, "FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business."
