Peninsula and two of its leaders, Nasir al-Wahishi and Ali
al-Shihri, as terrorist sponsors under UNSC Resolution 1267
prohibits UN member states from engaging in any transactions
with the target subjects, and that the U.S. planned to list
the subjects domestically under Executive Order 13224 as
well. Ishimura stated that Japan shares U.S. concerns and
expressed appreciation for our efforts to notify her
government of the intended designation. On February 1,
Kikuchi stated that Japan planned to announce its designation
of these three AQAP entities on February 5.
