TOP 6 WORST TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE HISTORY
6. Amerithrax Terrorist Attacks
Exactly one week after the September 11 attacks on 18th of September 2001, this brutal attack happened but caused a shock after various weeks. This attack was not by missiles or bombs but by letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to different well positioned officers, caused death of 5 innocent people and infected 17 others people. It is one of the most complicated cases in the history of America to be handled even by FBI officers. The Government officers after this terrific incident got scared and took high potency antibiotics and raised the security.
5. World Trade Centre Bombing Of 1993
This worst terrorist attack of bombing of World Trade Centre occurred before the 9/11 on 26th of February, 1993 and was not completely successful but caused huge damage to the buildings. In this attack a truck bomb was exploded below the North Tower of the World Trade Centre of New York. It was planned to knock down the both twin towers and to kill thousands of the people but the terrorists missed the task as they were failed to destroy the twin towers.7 people were died in this attack while 1,042 people were injured. It was an attack to demolish the backbone of US.
4. Bombing Of The Wall Street
The bombing of the Wall Street occurred on 16th of September, 1920, around 12:00 pm when a horse- drawn wagon containing 100 pounds of dynamite was exploded by a timer-set detonation and shook the financial sector of the New York. This bombing caused the death of 38 people and 143 people seriously got injured. The culprits behind this act were not exactly traced but it was suspected that the Galleanists were the master minds behind this brutal attack, although not announced officially. This bombing caused a property damage of more than $2 million and demolished most of the interior spaces of the Morgan building.
3. Mumbai Attacks Of 2008
The most weird and worst terrorist attacks in the history of India are Mumbai attacks of 2008. On 26th of November, 2008, the terrorist targeted the most popular and royal Hotel Taj Mahal that is located in the premises of Gate way of India. This attack included shootings, bombings, hostage crisis and siege. It was a 64 hours long war between the terrorists and the military forces, continuously bombardment from the both sides. On this sad day there were 10 attacks on the several places in Mumbai but the main focus was the hotel. This attack took away the lives of approximately 166 people including 10 attackers and injured more than 600 people.
2. Bombing Of Oklahoma City
The document summarizes the origins and goals of terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and the Taliban. It discusses how the Taliban formed in response to civil war in Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal. It also explains that Al Qaeda was founded by Osama Bin Laden and consists mainly of Arab fighters who remained in Afghanistan after the Soviet war. The document then analyzes some major terrorist attacks carried out by Al Qaeda, like 9/11. It concludes by assessing different approaches to dealing with terrorism, including deterrence and the three step solution proposed by Frey.
Terrorism is not monopolized by Muslims according to a review of historical terrorist attacks. Many attacks from the 19th century onwards were committed by non-Muslim groups like anarchists, communists, separatist organizations, and individuals of different faiths. Some of the largest mass killings in history were also committed by leaders like Hitler, Stalin and Mao who were not Muslim. While all religions prohibit killing innocents, terrorism in reality stems from various political and ideological movements across religious affiliations.

This document explores the formation and goals of the Islamic State (IS). It discusses how IS arose from the instability in Iraq and Syria following the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. IS gained strength by recruiting former Iraqi military officers disaffected by the Shi'a-led government's treatment of Sunnis. The document examines how IS uses terrorist tactics to achieve political goals like territorial expansion and the establishment of an extremist Islamic state. It analyzes debates around defining terrorism and categorizes IS as a religiously-motivated terrorist group. The summary provides background on IS and outlines its origins and objectives.
Terrorists carried out coordinated attacks across multiple locations in an Indian metropolis, including hotels, Parliament, and a world trade center, using automatic weapons and grenades. Many people were killed and injured in the planned assaults. The conditions after the terror attacks involved hospitalizing victims and mounting a rescue operation amid the aftermath.

This document outlines Hassan Habib's presentation on terrorism in Pakistan. It discusses the key terrorist group TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan), providing its history, leadership, connections to al-Qaeda and Afghan Taliban, motives, and how it has increased attacks. It also examines the Pakistani military operation Zarb-e-Azab against TTP, differing views on former president Musharraf's policies, and concludes that drone attacks and Pakistan's support of the US have contributed to the rise of terrorism in the country.
This slide deck presents some of the insights gleaned from a data set in Ntrepid Corporation’s Timestream application that is an open-source collection of reported ISIS-linked activity in Yemen. The full case study is available: http://www.criticalthreats.org/yemen/exploring-isis-yemen-zimmerman-july-24-2015.
The Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) is attempting to expand its footprint in Yemen. ISIS declared an Islamic Caliphate on June 29, 2014, under the leadership of the new Caliph, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. The return of the Caliphate under Baghdadi placed an obligation on all Muslims to pledge allegiance to him, according to ISIS. Al Qaeda broadly dismisses the legitimacy of the Caliphate under ISIS, and ISIS and al Qaeda are now in competition for the leadership of the global jihadist movement.
Al Qaeda’s Yemen-based affiliate, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), dominates the jihadist fight in the country and it remains the greatest direct threat to the United States from the al Qaeda network. AQAP leadership reaffirmed its allegiance to al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri in November 2014, publicly rejecting the legitimacy of the Islamic Caliphate. The 2015 collapse of the central Yemeni state created opportunities for AQAP to exploit, and the group is expanding its presence in Yemen.
The initial reaction to ISIS in Yemen was muted, but the group has begun to make inroads as the conflict there protracts. ISIS began claiming regular attacks in Yemen as of March 2015 and now operates in at least eight Yemeni governorates.
This document discusses terrorism, including defining it as the unlawful use of force against people or property to intimidate governments or populations for political goals. It outlines some terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda, causes of terrorism like religious extremism and poverty, and examples of terrorist attacks over the years such as in Mumbai, London, and Delhi. These attacks have social, political, and economic impacts. Prevention measures discussed include education, security, and unity. Government acts against terrorism are also mentioned.
Jihadism refers to contemporary armed jihad and Islamic fundamentalism. It has its roots in 19th century Islamic revivalism that developed into ideologies like Qutbism in the 20th century. Groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Al-Shabab practice jihadism and seek to establish an Islamic caliphate governed by sharia law, with ISIS proclaiming a caliphate in 2014 spanning parts of Iraq and Syria. These groups finance their activities through means like oil sales, ransoms from kidnappings, taxation of areas they control, and donations from supporters seeking to advance their mission of armed struggle. They have carried out numerous terrorist attacks against Western targets, most notably the September 11 attacks in
This document summarizes Hemant Hemant's paper on understanding why individuals stay religious extremists through cognitive dissonance and self-affirmation theories. It begins by providing context on the history of terrorism and its various waves. It then discusses Leon Festinger's cognitive dissonance theory, which posits that individuals resolve mental conflicts between beliefs and actions by reducing conflicting beliefs, increasing existing beliefs, or changing beliefs/actions. The document applies this to explain how extremists rationalize staying in terrorist organizations. It also discusses self-affirmation theory and how extremists use it to justify their beliefs even when given conflicting evidence of harm. Lastly, it proposes recommendations for deradicalization efforts combining these theories' insights with soci
Islam is a religion of over 1 billion followers worldwide. It is not a new religion but continues the Abrahamic traditions of Judaism and Christianity. The core beliefs of Islam include the oneness of God, faith in prophets including Jesus and Muhammad, holy books such as the Quran, and Judgment Day. Terrorism involves violence against civilians for political goals and is forbidden in Islam. Jihad refers to internal spiritual struggle or external fighting, but only in self-defense and with strict ethical rules of engagement. The document seeks to clarify misunderstandings about Islam and distinguish it from terrorist groups that claim to act in its name.
The Moral Questions on the Religious Basis for Terrorisminventionjournals
Terrorism has been informed and propelled by many factors such as tribal, political, religious and many other factors but experience has shown that religious factor has been a key factor for terrorism; sometimes, it is used to champion other courses which may be political or tribal. Religious terrorism is the justifiability of terror acts on the ground that such an act is sanctioned by a deity; thus, adherents are called to even kill in order to defend their faith. Religious motivated terrorism (e. g., Joshua conquest of the Canaanites in the Old Testament, ISIS terrorist attacks, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Boko-Haram in Nigeria etc.) is said to be the deadliest of all other kinds of terrorism. Looking at the religious basis for terrorism, one is poised to raise some moral questions such as: are there ethical justifications for religious terrorism? Is religion the bedrock for morality or vice versa? Since God has reason for all His actions, can He ever sanction the killing of His creatures for His delight? What is the moral undertone of martyrdom? Etc. This research considers these questions and more thereby unveiling a possible moral condemnation of religious basis for terrorism.
Ba'athist Influence on the Islamic State 2Trevor McGuire
Former members of Saddam Hussein's secular Ba'athist regime in Iraq have come to lead the Islamic State after becoming radicalized following the U.S. invasion and overthrow of Saddam in 2003. The U.S. dismantling of Saddam's government and de-Ba'athification process marginalized many former officials and caused tensions that increased over time under a new Shiite-dominated Iraqi government, pushing some Ba'athists toward radical Sunni insurgent and terrorist groups. Ex-Ba'athist military officers and intelligence officials now hold many leadership positions in the Islamic State, including as provincial governors, and have been instrumental in building up its governing structures and military capabilities despite ideological

Fighting the Islamic State - Matthew Gulino_01Matthew Gulino
This document provides an analysis of the Islamic State (ISIS) and the U.S. response. It discusses the history and nature of ISIS, analyzing their strategy, environment, popular support, organization, and lack of external state support. The document evaluates the U.S. government response and recommends continuing current strategies while advocating for Sunni welfare and autonomy in Syria and Iraq.
Islamophobia is prevalent in Western societies due to events like 9/11 and the Paris attacks that fuel fear of Muslims. The media portrays Muslims negatively and politicians exploit anti-Muslim sentiments to gain votes. While overt racism like attacks on mosques occurs, more subtle aversive racism is also common in interactions and views of Muslim-majority areas. Despite Canada's multiculturalism, Islamophobia persists as shown by increased anti-Muslim hate crimes since 9/11.
1) The document analyzes historical records of terrorist attacks from the 19th century to present day to show that terrorism is not monopolized by Muslims. Many attacks were carried out by non-Muslim individuals and groups across different faiths and ideologies.
2) The document cites several examples of terrorist attacks committed by non-Muslim individuals like anarchists, communists, and nationalist groups. It also lists leaders like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao who were responsible for killing millions of people but were not Muslim.
3) While various religions do not encourage killing innocents, the document argues that terrorists have claimed affiliations with many faiths including Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and S
This document summarizes a presentation on the causes and effects of terrorism in Pakistan. It discusses definitions of terrorism and outlines key events like 9/11. Causes mentioned include political, social, economic, religious factors and the Afghan war. Effects include thousands of casualties from terrorist attacks. Steps taken by Pakistan to counter terrorism are also summarized, as well as how terrorism can be stopped by addressing grievances and attacking terrorist capacity.
The document discusses terrorism in the modern world through a series of questions and answers. It addresses who is responsible for current terrorist attacks (ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Al Shabaab), why people join these groups (desire for caliphate, hope to provoke war), and who protects against terrorism (FBI, CIA, NSA, Department of Homeland Security). It also discusses punishment for surviving terrorists (imprisonment in US prisons or Guantanamo Bay) and whether there is a chance to end terrorism by winning battles or changing extremist ideologies.
The ISIS awareness: calling out for international attentionMina Woo
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) aims to bring Muslim-inhabited regions under its political control through adopting hardline beliefs from Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. ISIS rejects Western interpretations and uses sophisticated social media and gruesome propaganda videos to spread its extremist Sunni ideologies and terrorize those who do not follow its beliefs. The United States is currently waging war against ISIS in response to beheadings of American journalists and civilians.
The document provides background information on the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), an Islamic separatist extremist group active in the southern Philippines. It summarizes that ASG was founded in 1991 by Abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani, a veteran of the Soviet-Afghan war, with the goal of establishing an Islamic state. However, following losses of leadership in the late 1990s and 2000s, ASG fractured into smaller groups focused more on criminal activities like kidnapping and piracy to fund operations, rather than the original ideological goals. The document examines ASG's origins, leadership history, and motivations in seeking to establish an independent Islamic state for the Muslim minority in the southern Philippines
YOU are intended to be a world changer. That is an ambitious task for anyone, and that is exactly what this presentation addresses. It starts with you! To become a world changer, you must first embrace and believe in your worth and capacity to impact. YOU MATTER, and your actions count. Today is the day we start!
The document discusses things that one should never stop doing like searching, spring cleaning, and asking questions. It provides tips on passion, purpose, problems to solve, and spending time on hobbies and with good friends. It also advises cleaning out toxic social media friends and emails. The document cautions that no one can truly prepare for the future and to trust no one's predictions, instead favoring predictions from movies. Ultimately, it says to trust yourself.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
In this update of his past presentations on Mobile Eating the World -- delivered most recently at The Guardian's Changing Media Summit -- a16z’s Benedict Evans takes us through how technology is universal through mobile. How mobile is not a subset of the internet anymore. And how mobile (and accompanying trends of cloud and AI) is also driving new productivity tools.
In fact, mobile -- which encompasses everything from drones to cars -- is everything.
Al Qaeda is an international terrorist organization founded in the late 1980s. It was originally formed to assist veterans of the Soviet-Afghan war but later became known for orchestrating devastating terrorist attacks against Western targets. Al Qaeda operates through a decentralized network of cells rather than a strict hierarchical structure. It is led by a shura council that advises the leader, currently Ayman al-Zawahiri following the death of Osama bin Laden. Al Qaeda promotes a radical Salafist ideology and seeks to defend and purify Islam through global jihad against those it deems enemies of the faith.
This document discusses the threat of homegrown terrorism in the United States. It notes that since 9/11, there have been 63 homegrown violent jihadist plots or attacks. While the numbers seem small, even one successful attack could seriously harm Americans. It examines three terrorist groups - Al Qaeda, Al Shabaab, and ISIS - that have had some success recruiting American citizens to their cause. This threatens national security by giving groups access to intelligence and allowing them to potentially operate undetected within the country. The document aims to analyze the significance and severity of the homegrown terrorism threat.
The document discusses how there is no agreed upon definition of terrorism internationally. While the UN has condemned terrorist acts, it has struggled to define terrorism due to disagreements over violence in national liberation movements. Terrorism has existed for millennia in different forms throughout history from Jewish resistance fighters against Rome to government sponsored terrorism during the French Revolution. Modern terrorism has included anarchist, religious, and domestic and international forms from groups like Al-Qaeda and movements in the Middle East. The 9/11 attacks and Mumbai attacks are discussed as examples that had large impacts and led countries like the US to engage in military action abroad while also increasing security measures domestically.
The document provides an overview of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and their aftermath. It discusses how 19 hijackers took control of 4 planes on September 11, 2001, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers, one into the Pentagon, and one into a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. The US blamed Al-Qaeda and invaded Afghanistan, where Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011. The attacks had major health, economic, and social impacts both in the US and globally, increasing distrust of Muslims. Some researchers and theorists have argued US agencies had advance knowledge or were complicit in the attacks.
The document provides an overview of various topics related to Iran, including its government and politics, human rights record, terrorism activities, and nuclear program. It discusses Iran's history from the Pahlavi era in the 1920s through the 1979 revolution and Iran-Iraq war. It notes Iran has a complex political system as an Islamic theocracy with elected aspects. The document also examines Iran's sponsorship of terrorism, particularly its close ties to Hezbollah, and support for Palestinian groups. In addition, it provides details on Iran's nuclear program and the debate around how the U.S. should respond.
The document discusses terrorism and provides several examples of terrorist attacks around the world, including the September 11th attacks in the United States, bombings in London in 2005, and a derailed train attack in Russia in 2009. It also discusses America's response to terrorism through actions like waterboarding and the ongoing war in Afghanistan.
Terrorism and counter terrorism strategyabhnishat094
The document discusses various aspects of counter-terrorism strategies and policies of the UN, EU, and USA. It provides details on the UN's global counter-terrorism strategy which has 4 pillars and is reviewed every 2 years. The strategy focuses on conflict prevention, capacity building, ensuring human rights, and strengthening UN roles. It also compares the US strategy before and after 9/11, noting it placed more emphasis on using force after 9/11. Overall, the document analyzes and compares the different approaches taken by these organizations to counter terrorism.
The document defines and discusses terrorism. It begins by defining terrorism as violent acts intended to create fear for political, religious or ideological goals. It notes terrorism can be perpetrated by both state and non-state actors. The document then discusses characteristics of terrorism such as being against the state/community and aiming to intimidate. It provides examples of types of terrorism and discusses terrorism issues historically in India related to separatist groups. The document concludes by discussing causes of terrorism and methods of prevention.

U.S. Domestic Terrorism

“These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life. With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. They stand against us, because we stand in their way.”
- President George Bush
What IS domestic terrorism?
Information gathered from James S. Albanese’s “The Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice” highlights three of the most common forms of domestic terrorism:
1) Political
2) Ideological
3) Foreign Nationalist
The FBI defines domestic terrorism as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction, committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.”
Political Domestic Terrorism
The most common political acts of domestic terrorism stem from either far-left or far-right leaning factions. In the timespan between 1997 and August 2017 there were a total of 3,342 deaths due to domestic terrorism.
The graph below shows that right wing terrorism was the second deadliest cause of death by domestic terrorism, and that left-wing domestic terrorism claimed a total of 23 lives.
(Since the beginning of 2016 deaths caused by left-wing domestic terrorism overtook deaths caused by right-wing domestic terrorism.)
Left-Wing Domestic Terrorist Groups
ANTIFA
The Anti-Fascist (ANTIFA) movement is an anarchist militia group that was inspired by a World War II movement that resisted NAZI oppression.
Antifa history, beliefs, and activity.
The modern day ANTIFA movement has seen a dwindling amount of support from other slightly less aggressive leftist groups movements such as “Black Lives Matter” and tend to come into conflict with any group that they come across.
ANTIFA is classified as an anarchist movement that resurged in Europe in the 1960s before making its way to the United States in the 1970s. Its mission is based upon the belief that the repetition of Nazi occupation can only be prevented through active aggression. Over time, ANTIFA have broadened the definition of fascism to include anybody who either supports conservative political efforts, supports President Donald Trump, or both.
ANTIFA are known for violent, and often misguided, counter-protests that have even escalated to the point where they’ve assaulted themselves by mistake.
Often times police and other peacekeeping groups are targeted by ANTIFA while attempting to stem the violence between them and the groups that they counter-protest. ANTIFA counter-protests are notorious for physical violence, provocation, arrests, and damage to property as well as desecration of the American flag.

The document discusses various forms of domestic terrorism in the United States, including political, ideological, and religiously-motivated terrorism. It provides examples of specific domestic terrorist groups from both the left wing (e.g. Antifa) and right wing (e.g. American Nazi Party). It also discusses terrorist attacks carried out by foreign nationalist groups on U.S. soil, such as the 9/11 attacks and Boston Marathon bombing. Finally, it outlines current efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to prevent future acts of domestic terrorism.
Political violence stems from personal agendas that advance certain political objectives. Groups try to influence the majority through violent acts, which are now considered terrorism. The decision to engage in terrorism can occur for many reasons, including a logical choice or political strategy. Two notable acts of political violence include the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 by Sikh terrorists that killed 329 civilians in response to an attack on a Sikh temple, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing carried out by Al Qaeda that killed 6 people.

This document provides a summary of terrorism and hijackings throughout history.
