Abu Dhabi: The UAE Cabinet on Saturday announced the names of dozens of
extremist groups that have been put on its list of terrorist organisations.
The list, which is in line with the anti-terror law issued by President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin
Zayed Al Nahyan in August, includes major terror groups such as Al Qaida, Daesh and the Muslim
Brotherhood, and its regional and local affiliates, as well as smaller regional and international groups.
The law authorised the government to issue a list of groups designated by the UAE as terrorist
organisations, which makes it a criminal offence for any individual or group that communicates with
them, engage in their activities, or provide support by any means.
Whoever seeks or communicates with a foreign state, terrorist organisation or with anyone who works
for their interests, to commit any terrorist act, shall be punished with imprisonment for life while the
death penalty will be imposed if the terrorist act has been carried out, the law says.
The list includes the Muslim Brotherhood in the UAE, and its political arm, the now-banned Al Islah
Association, whose members were tried and convicted last year on charges of an attempt to overthrow
the government and destabilise the political system of the country.
Among the terror groups on the UAE list are Al Qaida and its affiliates in the Arabian Peninsula and
North Africa, Daesh (the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant), the International Organisation
of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Syrian-based Jabhat Al Nusra and its Ahrar Al Sham allies, the
Nigerian-based Boko Haram, Al Houthis group in Yemen, Hezbollahs affiliates in the Gulf, Iraqi militias
such as Badr, Asaaeb Al Haq, Abul Fadhl Al Abbas, Pakistan Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba and the
Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations.
