The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 gave
the
Secretary of State authority to designate foreign terrorist
organizations whose
terrorist activity threatens the security of United States
nationals or the
national defense, foreign relations or economic interests of the
United States.
See Pub. L. 104-132, § 302, 110 Stat. 1214, 1248.
See also
section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. §
1189). The
Antiterrorism Act also created 18 U.S.C. § 2339B, which makes
it unlawful,
within the United States, or for any person who is subject to the
jurisdiction
of the United States anywhere, to knowingly provide material
support to a foreign
terrorist organization that has been designated by the Secretary of
State.
See Pub. L. 104-132, § 303, 110 Stat. 1214, 1250.
