Only 16 States were found to have enacted statutes that prohibit 'terrorist' threats and acts; of these, 12 prosecute activities causing general civilian disruption. The Federal Criminal Code was found to have no specific prohibition against terrorist acts and threats; however, a multitude of Federal laws, both substantive and procedural, may be used to apprehend and prosecute suspected terrorists. Efforts should be made to examine State governments' capabilities in dealing with disruptive terrorist incidents, and to inventory Federal government
