Planning an Al-Qaeda Operation

Two organizations striving for power brutally killed an abundance of innocent people for their own benefits. The only differences are the time periods and the methods of execution. While the Holocaust perpetrators sent people to get killed, al-Qaeda sent people to kill. It should always be a priority to learn about the history of ancestors around the world, so their mistake is not made by present

For the past fifty years or so, Americans have had the great fortune of living safely in a relatively peaceful world. That perspective changed the moment a commercial airplane slammed into the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th. Terrorists killed over 6,000 American citizens within a few hours. Suddenly, life as America knew it changed. Many stood in disbelief when they saw the joyous reactions of people cheering on the streets of Palestine. Our nation came to realize that we were truly hated, and that terrorist regimes rejoiced in our pain. The leader of one such a regime, Osama bin Laden, became America's clearly defined worst enemy. A war has begun between bin Laden and his terrorist followers,

The terrorism towards Muslim-Americans pales in comparison to the war in the Middle East. During 9/11, al-Qaeda (a terrorist group made of citizens of several countries, not affiliated with any government whatsoever) killed over 3,000 Americans. In return American troops killed, 1.7 million Iraqi civilians, mostly children, in the Iraq war. Americans also killed roughly 3 million Afghan since the early 90’s, before 9/11. Altogether, Americans have afflicted around 7 million in the Middle East. However, the American government hides the death toll and researchers find it difficult to document Arab deaths due to language barriers and information manipulation. Nevertheless, Americans have killed from 6 to 8 million Islam. Not only can many people consider this morally wrong to kill innocent civilians because of a terrorist attack they had nothing to do with, but it also puts a bigger target on America. ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups will not take too kindly that 7 million of their people killed by Americans. They will seek revenge and do everything in their power to raise their death toll on America (15 Years After

After the occasions of September 11, Americas' point of view toward Islamic nations, and Muslims changed in a split second. Not long after the assault of U.S, upgraded security, observation and the protection of Americans, tenacious military and automaton operations, and improved cross examination and torment were implemented. Beginning from President George W. Hedge, that insane Islamic terrorists loathe America, its flexibility, and vote based system. Being ignorant of terrorist's fundamental thought processes politically talking, words were out that they are insane mass killers (serial executioners), suicide planes are silly and aggravated. The writer says that perusers who trust the myth of against Americans and Islamic terrorists are insane flexibility haters, ought to examine the constraints of the their accept.

In Feb. 1998, Al Qaeda leaders issued a second fatwa, which instructed Muslims everywhere to kill Americans and their allies – civilians and military. It states, “Every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.” At the same time, Osama Bin Laden declared war on the West and Israel once

The other suspected motive that al-Qaeda had for the September 11th attacks was the United States’ continuing presence in Saudi Arabia. In 1991, when the Gulf War ended, the United State’s Department of Defense reserved approximately 5,000 troops to be stationed in territories located in Saudi Arabia. Part of their responsibility was to carry out the military operation, “Operation Southern Watch” ("Operation Southern Watch"). The goal of this military operation was to ensure that the no-fly zones over southern Iraq were enforced. In addition, they made certain that the oil exportation shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf were protected ("Operation Southern Watch").

The US Central Command’s planning for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) was not the all-inclusive plan that joint operations require. Joint operations are no longer limited to major combat operations, but encompass a wide range of actions. Planning for joint operations requires input from many sources to produce a successful campaign plan to meet the desired end state. Operational design provides a concept and a construction framework that underpins a campaign and its execution. (JP GL13). Evaluating the planning process by using the operational design identifies some of CENTCOM’s shortfalls. US military planners’ lack of understanding of the operational environment led to an inadequately defined problem that resulted in a faulty operational approach. CENTCOM’s approach did not have the right assessment to gauge the effectiveness of the plan such as alerting planners when and if the plan needed modification. Current joint planning policy incorporates several of CENTCOM’s shortfalls in an attempt to provide a better planning process for future joint operations.

In the recent past terrorism, especially in politically and economically unstable regions, brings a continuously growing threat for people from every color, religion or ethnic background. And also in rather safe areas, such as Europe or the U.S., people fear the threat of terrorism. For such inhumane violence a scapegoat is often easily found in Islam, the religion these groups affirm to fight for. Such belief can readily lead to condemnation of not only an actually peace loving religion, but also innocent minorities suffering under the perverted practices of liars. This discrimination cannot be tolerated, because Al-Qaeda, the most commonly known terror organization of the world, and their leader Osama Bin Laden, were founded on a political basis and find no countenance in the Quran, the holy book of Islam. The organization Al-Qaeda, following terroristic ideas and claiming to operate as surrogate for Islamic values, simplifies and intentionally misinterprets and shortens verses of the Quran, actually having no close connection to Islamic ideas, only claiming to do so in order to use it as a weapon to attack the United States and to convince potential followers to join the ' 'holy ' ' war fighting of Al Qaeda.

“Muslims, Bin Laden argues, must reverse a series of humiliations that they’ve endured since the Ottoman Empire, the last Muslim great power, was dismantled after World War I. Al-Qaeda’s 1998 declaration of a jihad, or holy war, against ‘Jews and Crusaders’ urges Muslims to attack ‘the Americans and their allies, civilian and military,’ supposedly as a response to U.S. policies that al-Qaeda feels oppress Muslims: the stationing of troops in Saudi Arabia; the backing of U.N. sanctions against Iraq; support for repressive Arab regimes; support for Israel; alleged complicity in Russian attacks on Muslims in Chechnya; and interventions in Bosnia, Somalia, and other Muslim regions that bin Laden sees as attempts to spread America’s empire. These Western policies, according to al-Qaeda, add up to a ‘clear

Objectives and goals of terrorist associations vary all through the world and reach from local single-issue terrorists to the points of transnational radicalism and terrorism. As the most conspicuous vote based system and noteworthy financial, military, and political force in the world, the U.S. is a helpful and engaging focus for fanatics. For instance, Martyrdom is when a man dies in a legitimate battling safeguarding his country, his honor, his respect, his opportunity, his pride, his nobility, his territory. No slaughtering is suffering, and no passing is affliction. Martyrdom is a specific death.

Ever since September 11, 2001 Americans along with the majority of the world’s population have been skeptical of Muslims. It’s a sad reality but it’s hard for people to think of a Muslim without linking them directly to terrorism. But these assumptions aren’t totally out of the blue—the Muslim’s religion, Islam, teaches a low tolerance for other religions and the Islamic government has no separation of church and state, so it’s only normal to assume that their government shall have a low tolerance as well—some however, immediately translate this into terrorism. Through the Islamic government and religion, relations with foreign countries, and separation amongst themselves it can be concluded that Islamic Fundamentalism is clearly a threat

Ever since the bombing of the World Trade Center on February 1993 the United States of America has stepped up its commitment to stopping terrorism. The general public after the bombing also took a new view on Islam, a negative one. The February 7 arrest of Ramzi Yousef made the world open its eyes to Islamic terrorists. The FBI is even involved in terrorist investigations and it does not help the image of the Islamic people that most wanted man by the United States of America is Usama Bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian. He is the leader of the terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda, which is one of the most active terrorist groups. His central issue is the United States presence in the Arabian Peninsula and the military presence in his former homeland Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden made a declaration in February 1999 in the name of his "International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders." He stated that "to kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military, is an individual duty of every Muslim who is able, in any country where this is possible." These kinds of statements are immediately taken by the Western media and given to the public. The public of course reacts with anger and creates a bias against

One can scarcely turn on the television, or the radio, or open up a web browser without the mention of Islamic terrorism or unrest around the world. Though the United States and the rest of the world may not be engaged in a protracted religious war, for radical Muslim fundamentalist they are. Bernard Lewis brings to light possible reasons for the issues facing the world dealing with Islamic terrorism. The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror explains these issues in historical context as well as how some of the actions professed in the name of Islam and claim to

Although, it did not take long before America realized that the Al Qaeda group was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks. In addition, the organization was led by Osama bin Laden. Besides, the Al Qaeda group had declared war openly on the States of America (Capone, 2011). As a result, the group was ready to terminate lives of innocents’ lives in America and the entire world. Therefore, America started war against Al Qaeda with the aim of protecting the citizens, friends as well as allies. However, after 10 years of the heroic and tireless effort of American military with the tireless support of the counter-terrorism professionals American had yielded some fruits. In addition, America had strengthened its homeland defense and disrupted attacks by the

Bearing the tightened security measures across many countries, planning a terror attack of mass populations is a very tricky affair hence needs keen planning and knowing the loopholes. As a leader of the terrorism unit responsible for accomplishing an attack on Edinburg, I will train my team to target a relatively smaller number of people who are mostly regarded not as high terrorism targets but are in such a number that will communicate to the CT efforts and the responsible countries.
