1)What "act of terrorism" is Ms. Chesimard suspected of?
. The FBI defines domestic terrorism as "the unlawful use, or threatened use of force or violence by a
group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or its territories without.
foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the.
charges for which Chesimard was found guilty were committed in furtherance of the black separatist
extremist ideology and were designed to effect political change through its use..
2) How was the BLA designated a "terrorist group"? By whom?
release as one of the most violent, militant organizations of 1970s.
3) Did the FBt investigate the BLA as a criminal enterprise, or only certain members of it who were suspected of.
criminal activity?
The FBl investigated the BLA under the Civil Unrest case classification in the 1970s. (Note: records
this old are difficult to search, but it appears there was no criminal enterprise investigation on the.
BLA). Additionally, the FBI also investigated individuals believed to be involved in criminal activity.
who were also associated with the BLA.

Given the interests of the local media, I'm anticipating a few questions but am stumped on the answers. Will you please
lend me your thoughts?
4)What "act of terrorism" is Ms. Chesimard suspected of? I only saw charges listed for murder and robbery,
without a terrorism angle.
