What’s In A Name? U.S. Takes Syria’s Al-Qaeda Off Terror Watchlists
2017-05-23
[MINTPRESSNEWS] By changing its name to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda has managed to secure its removal from the U.S. and Canadian terror watchlists, allowing citizens of those countries to donate money and travel to fight with them.

#2  There is a terrorist org designation list and there is process for designation. It takes a while.

In the meantime the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham is being bombed just like before the name change.

also, a number of individuals are on the individual watchlist and they stay on that list
