The Council added two persons and two groups to the EU sanctions regime against ISIL/Da'esh and Al-Qaida and persons, groups, undertakings and entities associated with them.
The U.S. Department of State designated three leaders of ISIS-K, along with one of its chief financial facilitators, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
Yet designating ISIS-K leaders as global terrorists will have little effect on the ground. They are firmly ensconced in Afghanistan and the designation will enhance their reputation among the ISIS-K fighters.
The US Treasury Department added 4 ISIS-K Afghan men on its list of Designated Global Terrorists, according to an official statement released on November 22.
