The attacks Airport: At 7:58 a.m. Tuesday March 22 2016, two suicide bombers hit the Brussels Airport in Zaventem, killing at least 10 people. One blast took place near the security check point and close to the airline check-in counters, according to an airline official briefed on the situation. Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said Wednesday that a third bomb, which he described as the largest had been placed at the airport by a suspect who then left the scene. He said it exploded "a few moments after the bomb squad arrived" because the explosives were unstable, but no one had been injured "thanks to the professionalism of the authorities at the scene." (CNN) Metro station: Close an hour after the airport bombings, Khalid El Bakraoui, a Brussels-born 27-year-old, set off a suicide bomb on the subway at the end of rush hour. The bomber, whom Van Leeuw said was identified only by his fingerprints, was in the second car of a train at the metro station. Authorities also believe there was a second suspect in that bombing, a senior Belgian security source told CNN. But that person's location -- or whether he was killed in the blast -- is unknown.

On April 21 authorities charged Timothy McVeigh. The authorities had only come to find out that he was already in jail after being arrested for unlawfully carrying a gun shortly after the bombing. Before McVeigh was released from jail, he was charged as a prime suspect in the bombing. Also on April 21, Terry Nichols who was a partner of McVeigh’s, surrendered in Herington Kansas. Both McVeigh and Nichols were in a group based out of Michigan which was the radical right-wing survivalist group. Just days later, both men were charged with murder and unlawful use of explosives.
The bomb was set off by Timothy McVeigh, a Persian Gulf Veteran. He was a right wing radical linked to anti-government, white-supremacist, survivalist and militia groups. The events at Waco and Ruby Ridge influenced Timothy McVeigh, prompting him to take action against the United States government (“FBI”, The Oklahoma City Bombing: 20 Years After). Right wing ideology, as in the Turner Diaries, led him
Following the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, Rescorla invited Hill to New York, where he hired him as a security consultant in order to assess the building 's security. Although no arrests had yet been made, Rescorla believed that the bomb had been planted by Muslims. Hill went undercover in several mosques throughout New Jersey, showing up for morning prayers at dawn. He took on the character of an anti-American Muslim, in order to interview the other visitors to the mosques. He concluded that the attack was likely planned by a radical imam at a mosque in New York or New Jersey. Followers of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, a radical Muslim cleric based in Brooklyn, were subsequently convicted of the bombing.
The second suspect of the Oklahoma City Bombing was Terry Nichols, who had helped McVeigh plan the bombing. He had met McVeigh in the military and they were both discharged at

Months before the bombing, McVeigh, along with his accomplice Terry Nichols, was believed to be involved in an “anti-government militia group” (Casey 3). McVeigh believed the government was devising a plan to deprive him and as well as the rest of his country of their rights as Americans to bear arms (Casey).

A women by the name of Sheryl Ray witnessed this bombing happen.

The first group of people she saw were the survivors all mangled and distressed, but she claimed they did not make a sound (Ray). This is because no matter how beat up or awful they looked, they were the lucky

One perspective that I have identify about the bombing attack by radical jihadists on the transportation system in London is that the emergency mangers could have prevent. While boarding the train there should be a metal detector on the train and security guards at the doors of the train. Each security guards officer’s job is to check each passagener for explosive device, weapons and other things that can be used to cause another human being harm to the body. I think that all subway station or train station should do that because that will cut back on a lot of unexpected bombing. Because when a bombing happens and it is unexpected the first question is ask is how did they get aboard the vehicle with those kinds of devices and we have no answer for that. If the security guards cannot get the job done
