Five terror groups removed from blacklist by United States, al-Qaida retained upon review

In notices published in the Federal Register on Friday, the US State Department said it had removed five extremist groups from its list of foreign terrorist organizations. All these terror groups are believed to be defunct, and hence they were removed after a mandatory five-year review of their designations. Upon review, Al-Qaida was kept on the list, which was created under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, or INA.
