Title 18 of the United States Code

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Title 18 of the US Code deals with Crimes and Criminal Proceedings in five parts:

Part I - Crimes
Part II - Criminal Procedure
Part III - Prisons and Prisoners
Part IV - Correction of Youthful Offenders
Part V - Immunity of Witnesses

Title 18, specifically Part 1 > Chapter 113B > § 2331 and § 2332a(a)), is being used to charge individuals, such as Zacarias Moussaoui, with terrorism.

Title 18 has expanded the interpretation of Weapons of Mass Destruction to include "airplanes intended for use as missiles."
