Title: Terrorism at Home: A Quick Look at Applicable Federal and State Criminal Laws
Authors: Charles Doyle, American Law Division 
Abstract: The conduct we most often associate with terrorism-bombings, assassinations, armed assaults, kidnapping, threats-are generally outlawed by both federal and state law. The federal approach builds upon individual national interests: the protection of federal officers, ensuring the safety of foreign diplomatic officials, guaranteeing the safety and integrity of the mails and the channels of interstate and foreign commerce, and honoring our international obligations.
