Any matter or case where the underlying purpose or object of the investigation is anti-terrorism related (domestic or
international). This program category is meant to capture United States Attorney Office activity intended to prevent
or disrupt potential or actual terrorist threats where the offense conduct is not obviously a federal crime of terrorism.
To the extent evidence or information exists, in any form, reasonably relating the case to terrorism or the prevention
of terrorism (domestic or international), the matter should be considered "anti-terrorism." For example, a case
involving offenses such as immigration violations, document fraud, or drug trafficking, where the subject or target
is reasonably linked to terrorist activity, should be considered an "anti-terrorism" matter or case. Similarly, a case
of identity theft and document fraud where the defendant's motivation is to obtain access to and damage sensitive
government facilities should be considered "anti-terrorism." (National Priority (N).)
