20144(j)(8), with a final judgment issued
by a U.S. district court under state or
federal law against a state sponsor of
terrorism and arising from an act of
international terrorism, for which the
foreign state was found not immune
under provisions of the Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act, codified at
28 U.S.C. 1605A or 1605(a)(7) (as such
section was in effect on January 27,
2008); (2) a U.S. person, as defined in
34 U.S.C. 20144(j)(8), who was taken
and held hostage from the United States
Embassy in Tehran, Iran, during the
period beginning November 4, 1979,
and ending January 20, 1981, or the
