(2) Victim defined. In this subsection, "victim": (A) means a person who is a national of the United States, or an officer or employee of the United States Government, who is injured or killed as a result of a terrorist act or mass violence occurring outside the United States; and (B) if that person is under 18, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased, includes a family member or legal guardian of that person.
