Laws and Terrorism

An article in DecemberÆs Time, ôWhen Terror Charges Just Won't Stick, reveals the disadvantages of the 1996 criminal law ôthat makes it illegal to provide æmaterial supportÆ to designated terrorist groupsö (Padgett & Malloy, 2005, p. 47). The law, Public Law 104-132, ôauthorizes the secretary of state, in consultation with the Attorney General and secretary of treasury, to designate foreign terrorist organizationsö to criminalize ôthe provision of funds and other material support for the designated foreign terrorist organizations by persons within the United Statesö (ôNew Counterterrorism Law,ö 1997, usinfo.state.gov). Stipulations include that the organization must be a foreign terrorist organization, it must engage in terrorist activity as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the terrorist activity must threaten the security of United States nationals or the national security of the United States (ôNew Counterterrorism Law,ö 1997, usinfo.state.gov).
