      terrorism, (ii) to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to (A) human

      committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person
      or foreign interest, as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population
      of
      the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United
      States Government by coercion. You should read the Act for a complete

      certify an event as an Act of Terrorism and thus covered by this law is final
