The press release also said that the major brigade had also been added as an alias to the list of specially designated world terrorists (SDGT), making it a crime in the United States to provide support for groups.
The Bla was appointed for the first time as SDGT in 2019 following several terrorist attacks. Since then, the group has claimed the responsibility of new violent incidents, including attacks by the Majeed brigade, added the press release.
