Biden Admin to Remove at Least Five Known Terrorist Organizations from Official Foreign Terror Blacklist

On Friday, the Biden Administration announced that it would be removing at least five known terrorist organizations from the official foreign terror blacklist.

Fox News reports that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken notified Congress of the administration’s decision, claiming that the five groups in question are all defunct. Removed from the list are two Islamic terror groups, the Mujahideen Shura Council in the Environs of Jerusalem, and Gama’a al-Islamiyya; a Japanese doomsday cult called Aum Shinrikyo; a radical Orthodox Jewish group known as Kahane Kach; and the Spanish separatist group Basque Fatherland and Liberty.

Some have speculated that the announcement could be a precursor to the Biden White House eventually announcing its plans to remove Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the same list, as the administration continues to pure diplomatic relations with the radical Islamic theocracy.
