Isis Terror Attack Paris

Two terrorist attacks, both at different times, and both unexpected occurred. One being before the 1960’s and the other after. In the early

In the past year we have had another devastating event like 9/11 that struck Paris. I am greatly horrified at what happened that day. I hope we all will remember what happened there and also what happened on 9/11. Terrorists are growing stronger, and we need to stop them. We are the next generation to fight, and I hope we all will take responsibility and stand up to help our country in some way. The terrorist group called ISIS have caused much destruction and stress. The event I am about to tell you about was one of their worst attacks so far. These events killed 130 people and hurt hundreds. I don’t think this event could have been prevented since ISIS doesn’t really listen - they just go and kill people. I really hope nothing at all will happen like this again. So I’m going to tell you about it so “History doesn’t repeat itself.” I hope you find this report interesting.

Living the United State when one thinks of a terrorist attacks often their mind will first go to a larger scale attack such as the events of September 11th 2001. “September 11, 2001 changed the United States forever, the terrorist attack that day marked a dramatic escalation in a trend toward more destructive terrorist attacks which began in the 1980s. It also reflected a trend toward more indiscriminate targeting among international terrorists. The vast majority of the more than 3,000 victims of the attack were civilians. In addition, the attack represented the first known case of suicide attacks carried out by international terrorists in the United States.” (Waston, 2002) However as the years have gone by we have come to learn that terrorist attacks are not always on a large scale and that even one person who is inspired by the ideologies of a terrorist group without being directly connected to them can carry out attacks. Those that engage in this type of terrorism are referred to as lone wolf terrorist. A recent example of such an even was the mass shooting at the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center in December of 2015.

Since the terrorist attack on November 13, 2015 there have been about 100 other attacks around the world. The only difference with them is that these attacks have gotten less media attention. Besides this, they are all the same and equally as horrible. In one attack in Lahore, Pakistan more than 65 people died. These attacks don’t include all the conflict in the Middle East that results in the death of many innocent people.

December 2, 2015, there were 14 people killed and 21 injured from Islamic extremists. This attack took place in San Bernardino, California, and was put in place by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. The mass shooting took place at a work training event, once the shooting was over the couple fled the scene. However, the police pursued their vehicle and killed both perpetrators four hours later. They both were not affiliated with any terrorist organization, but were inspired by terrorist groups and were “homegrown” (Serrano & Bennett) Islamic extremists. As the terrorist attacks are becoming more frequent and violent, the need for a solution is increasing to handle the war on terrorism.

November 13, 2015 is an indispensable day for millions of people to remember. Screaming’s of terror were heard on the streets of Paris, tears dripping down one’s cheek and blood dripping from bodies continuously. Many families were left with deep sorrow over the deliberate killings in Paris. Innocent lives were taken away, leaving the world in shock.

CNN reports on “Timeline: What happened in Paris attacks” on Friday, November 13th. In Paris, a deadly terrorist attack occurred,where seven of the terrorist were killed and they killed more than one hundred people. ISIS took responsibility for this attack. In a span of about thirty minutes, six attacks took place in different locations. This is attack is being called the worst terror attack in Europe in ten years.

Over the last months, many lamentable terrorist attacks have been taking place around the world, the most recent ones happening in the world famous Paris, the capital of France. Another older attack took place in the Garissa University College where many students were killed in their dormitories. The fact is that even though both events were terrible, we never paid attention to the attacks in Kenya than the most recent ones in Paris.

On August 21, 2015, a suspected terrorist walked shirtless out of a bathroom on a train traveling to France. He was carrying an AK-47, a pistol, a box cutter, and lots of ammunition and he quickly began firing at the people on the train, wounding several. The incident soon had the look of a horrible mass shooting in which there would be dozens of casualties, but then, three American friends and a British man attacked the gunman. They tackled him to the ground but the gunman got out a knife and began slashing at the men, wounding one of them. However, the hero’s on the train choked him into unconsciousness. The total time elapsed was less than 90 seconds.

This paper focuses on the various law enforcement agencies and their involvement following the horrific terrorist attack on Monday, April 15, 2013, beginning at 2:49pm.

Imagine going about your everyday life as per usual and then all of a sudden everything is completely disrupted. Terrorists are in your state, your city your life with an intention to hurt you, your friends and your loved ones. It’s a terrifying thought, and most of us would like to think that it is not very likely to happen. On November 13, 2015, the people of Paris were the unfortunate to deal with such an attack. This attack got the support and media coverage of what seemed like everyone. Sadly, what many might not know is that only one day before something similar happened in Beirut, Lebanon. Both the New York Times article by Anne Barnard and The Washington Post article by Brian J Phillips aimed to talk about

On September 11, 2001 started off as a regular Tuesday morning, as New Yorkers start their day. Many start their daily routine, whether it is grabbing some breakfast, taking kids to school, or running quick errands before work. With many of them already at work or about to start their shift, a terrible twist of events that no one had foreseen. At exactly 8:45 a.m., the North tower of the World Trade center had been hit by an American Airlines Boeing 767, affecting the eightieth floors up to the top of the building. At first assuming that it was an accident, until a second plane flew straight into the South tower of the World Trade Center, eighteen minutes later. But not only was New York the only affected place by the devastation, Washington, D.C was also struck by a plane at 9:45 a.m., a plane went right into the west side of the pentagon. At that precise moment, it was clear that the United States was under attack (9/11 Attacks). Eventually, we went on to learn that there was a fourth hijacked plane, which its original target is unknown. The passengers took initiative and prevented what could have been a worse incident. On this day nineteen Al Qaeda hijackers had changed the fate of millions, changing history and national security forever. Although these series of events were very tragic and traumatic, it brought such a unity and now security measures are higher than ever.

Friday the thirteenth. It was the day the France encountered a merciless underhandedness power of dread. It was the deadliest assault on France since world war two. The assailants were focused on their central goal; some even took their life keeping in mind the end goal to escape equity. The assailants butchered 139 people, including 89 at the Bataclan theater, where they took detainees before taking an interest in a stand-off with police. 368 people were hurt, 80–99 fundamentally. Seven of the aggressors passed on the night, in the meantime the French government quickly began an examination to capture the individuals who were likewise included with the assault.

Since the most infamous attack on United States soil, on September 9th, 2001, terrorism and the willingness to combat the terrorist have been on rise. The creation of many radical groups in the Middle East such as the Taliban, Islamic State, and Al Qaeda, have been led to blame for numerous and horrendous attacks on innocent citizens such as the attacks in Paris, France, which killed 130, and another that killed over 30 people in a bombing at an airport in Belgium. Debate over what should be used to weaken and ultimately destroy the attacks have seen some great controversy over time, such as the use of torture. Both psychological and physical torture have been proven to receive valuable information save lives on and off the battlefield, and as a punishment for the inhumane acts used by the terrorist.

Much of the world has a heavy heart following the attack in Nice, France during a Bastille Day celebration. With 83 civilians dead and over 200 injured, this is one of the most deadly civilian attacks in recent history. Much of the world also asks the same question: how could this happen?
