Department of Justice (DOJ) /FBI 1 : "As the lead for crisis management and counterterrorism, the Attorney General is responsible for ensuring the development and implementation of policies directed at preventing terrorist attacks domestically, and will undertake the criminal prosecution of acts of terrorism. DOJ has charged the FBI with execution of its LFA responsibilities for the management of a federal response to threats or acts of terrorism that take place within US territory or those occurring in international waters that do not involve flag vessels of foreign countries. As LFA, the FBI will implement a federal CrM response, and will designate a federal on-scene commander to ensure appropriate coordination with federal, state and local authorities until such time as the Attorney General finds it necessary to transfer the overall LFA role to DHS/FEMA".
