An amendment found in the Patriot Act defines domestic terrorism as "(A)
involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal
laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended? (i) to
intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of
a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of
a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C)
occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."

See Section 802 here:

Which amends 18 USC 2331, the result of which is here:
