Terrorism in Iowa

Terrorism is a Class “B” Felony under Iowa criminal law, defined by Iowa Code § 708A.2. As a Class “B” Felony, it is punishable within the statutory sentencing range Iowa sets for that offense class. Iowa classifies offenses as class “A” through class “D” felonies and as aggravated, serious, or simple misdemeanors. Felony prison terms are indeterminate maximums — the statutes set only the ceiling, and release timing is determined by the board of parole.
