3.1: Terrorism
Fight terrorism. Other Information:
Collaboration in these efforts has helped the Department make significant strides in its mission, and we will continue to
look for new ways that collaboration can help protect the United States.
Stakeholder(s):
- Terrorist Screening Center (TSC): The FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) plays a vital role in the fight against terrorism by integrating terrorist information
from the law enforcement and intelligence communities, including both domestic and international terrorist information, into
a single database. TSC then assures the timely dissemination of the information to the various screening systems – from the
TSA’s no‐fly and selectee lists to the State Department’s consular lookout system – of federal agencies. The TSC also plays
a crucial role in providing actionable intelligence to state and local law enforcement agencies.
- National Security Branch: The FBI’s National Security Branch, of which TSC is now a part, combines the Bureau’s counterterrorism, counterintelligence
and weapons of mass destruction resources, smoothly integrating the disciplines of intelligence and investigations.
- National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC),: The FBI is a partner with 15 other federal agencies in the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), where experts sit side
by side with one mission: avoiding another major terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
