Providing Material Support or Resources to Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2339B is a federal law that makes it a crime to provide money, training, personnel, weapons, communication equipment, or other goods or services to designated foreign terrorist organizations. It is also a crime to attempt to provide such support or resources, even if the attempt is unsuccessful. The law applies to individuals and organizations in the United States, or individuals and organizations outside the United States that are owned or controlled by a U.S. person. The law covers three different types of material support or resources: (1) tangible materials, such as money, weapons, and communications equipment; (2) services, such as training and personnel; and (3) expert advice and assistance. It is important to note that providing any of these types of support or resources is a crime, regardless of whether the person providing the support or resources knew, or had reason to know, that it was intended for use by a designated foreign terrorist organization.
