The Terrorism Act 2000 (c.11) is the first of a number of general Terrorism Acts passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It superseded and repealed the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989 and the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1996.
Fifteen days later the FBI withdrew its demand. The FBI was acting under the provisions of the USA Patriot Act (Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) passed by Congress on October 25, 2001, and signed into law by President Bush six weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.ixteen provisions of the Patriot Act are scheduled to sunset this year. This means that they will expire if Congress does not reauthorize them. It is those provisions, especially Sections 215 and 213, that civil liberties advocates insist are violations of the Bill of Rights.
