Over the past four months Europe has seen two terrorist attacks in particular that seem to capture the spotlight of radical violence—one on Nov. 13, 2015 in Paris and another recently on Mar. 22, 2016 in Brussels.
In response to the horrific attacks in Brussels, there was an explicit call for solidarity with implicit details, which lead to an approach to inquiry. With the joint death toll standing at about 160 individuals—whom the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or ISIL claims responsibility—these attacks have been the most violent in France since World War II and the most violent in Europe since the Madrid train bombing which killed approximately 190. However, our limited scope of attention should also turn to other countries throughout the world, which are experiencing similar and often more fatal events. Since June 2015, Turkey has experienced seven major bombings, five of which were claimed by ISIL, accounting for 229 deaths in the span of 9 months. Major cities, home to well over millions of Turkish civilians, such as the capital Ankara, Istanbul and Diyarbakır were all targets. Through that time where was the worldwide support for Turkey? Where was the guise of hope for Turkey like the sweeping amounts of Facebook profile picture changes and ‘#JeSuisParis’ hashtags from around the world? Without diminishing the horror of the merciless acts that happened in both Brussels and Paris, we should ask why similar responses for non-European countries yet to
In recent news, there has been a string of attacks all over the world; each attack has been related to terrorism. A passenger boarded a train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris, armed with a box cutter, a pistol and an AK-47 with intent to harm innocent people. Four passengers on the train quickly subdued the terrorist before anyone could be harmed. In November, Paris, France was struck with terror when three armed men set off a string of attacks throughout the city, to include a bomb and active shootings. This attack left nearly 127 people killed and wounded. Most recently, in San Bernadino, California a man and woman left from a holiday party and returned with assault rifles. The officials attributed their act to terrorism, where the
Armed with bombs and automatic rifles, these members of the ISIS terror cell murdered over 120 people, leaving countless others wounded.
As all have known Paris was attacked by a bombing. Which has caused many damages on the area. Although the damage has been done to this wonderful place the president Francois Hollande has taken charge against it and has taken it fairly quickly. And it might cause more damage than before to Paris and it’s people. Also it might cause damage to the other country or state and those people. He has taken charge and he's not looking back.
In 2016, there has been a recorded estimate of 450,000 casualties in that year, with the majority being their own civilians. The numerous amounts of air strikes caused by the US and Russia had caused more damage and death then there already was.
Many lives were taken by the known group Isis 3. 90 people were injured in all of the attacks and 63 people had died
On the evening of Friday, 13 November 2015, a massacre including of public mass shootings and suicide bombings occurred in the capital of France, Paris. The attackers killed 130 people and wounded 368 serious injuries. Just 10 months previous, on January 7, 2015 two terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdo, an office of a Parisian satirical magazine. They killed eleven and wounded eleven people. During the attacks in Paris, no one victim was armed. They didn’t have any chance to defense for themselves. When police arrived, it was too late to save the innocents. The world today is full of dangerous with terrorism, criminals, mass shootings, and so forth. We 're not safe from anything.
That attack, the November Paris attacks, dominated the news for weeks, and prompted incredible shows of solidarity from countries around the world. The countries that do suffer the most damage from terrorism are predominantly Muslim, and those attacks mostly slip under the radar of the western media. This means that while we in the west stoke our fears of “radical Islamic terrorists,” it is Muslims who bear the brunt of terrorist attacks.“The four predominantly Muslim countries that endured the most fatal terrorist attack were Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan” (Institute for Economics & Peace
One of the biggest challenges facing modern society is in the area of security, especially as it patterns to terrorism. The dynamics and severity of attacks on innocent citizens of different countries around the world continues to change over the years. In Europe, the frequency of terrorist attacks is also spreading to different countries. In fact, the 2017 Europol European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report concludes that more than 142 terrorist operations were reported across the European Union in 2016 alone. Also, the attacks caused the death of more than 140 people and about 378 more people were injured.
Six victims were killed instantly. Two others died later. And more than a dozen are trying to recover as the country grapples with yet another terror attack.
A series of bombings over the course of the campaign season culminated with an attack in Ankara that killed more than one hundred people. Ransom payments have provided the Islamic state 's more than $20 million in 2014 according to the U.S. Treasury (www.pbs.org). Since declaring its caliphate in June 2014, the self-proclaimed Islamic state has conducted more than 140 terrorist attacks in 29 countries besides Iraq and Syria, where its carriage has taken a much deadlier toll. Those attacks have killed at least 2,043 people and hurt thousands more (www.cnn.com).
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.
The British police have arrested five people on suspicion of being linked to the attacks in Paris and Brussels. On Thursday, three men and a woman were detained in Birmingham, central England. Also, on Friday, another man was held at London’s Gatwick Airport. Chief Const. Marcus Beale said that there was no information that suggested that an attack in Britain was being planned. A security source had confirmed that these five people arrests were linked to last month’s suicide bombings in Brussels, which resulted in thirty two people dead and November’s Paris attacks which left 130 people dead. The four men that were arrested are aged 40, 59, and two are aged 26. The woman is 29-years-old. They are all being questioned by counter-terrorism
War and violence are a normal part of the “War on Terror’” with two sides fighting over security and values that has cost the lives of many innocent people and damages that are unrepairable. Looking at the Madrid bombing in 2004 and how Europe could have created a stronger federal intelligence structures (Aldrich 2009) However, failed since many European countries were concerned that it would erode their own bilateral relations with the United States (Aldrich 2009). At the national level, several European political leaders openly criticized American intelligence activities such as the CIA secret prisons (Aldrich 2009). Europe has faced several bombings in 2004 and 2005 as a result of the rule of law in European countries is a target by terrorists
For example, terrorists attacks were made in Paris, France in 2015. On Friday November 13, 2015 at 3:20 p.m, guns went off, bombs exploded, and many people killed and wounded. Gunmen and suicide bombers all had hit a concert hall, a major stadium, and restaurants and bars almost all at the same time. It had left 130 people dead, and hundreds wounded, with more than 100 in critical condition. The President of France described this attack as an “act of war” against the Islamic State. Three teams were believed to be behind these attacks. Instantly after the attacks, French police carried out hundreds of raids across the country in search of the suspects. This tragedy hurt, and touched every single heart in the world. The U.S. sent troops over for support, and to help Paris out. Carried throughout all social media, were messages and prayers going towards Paris (Paris Attacks;BBC News, 2015).
The last year 's terrorist attack in Belgium raises more serious question in regard of national security issues in the western world. After the Paris attacks, the Belgian authorities have been working hard to protect their people, and fighting against the terrorism. However, their security measure failed to defend with terrorist attack at Brussels International Airport and City metro station. This new attack exemplifies the weakness of the Belgium 's security forces, and explores the tactics about the ISIS terrorist groups that hide and work in Western countries. I believe ISIS has been losing their territory in the ground, which means they are defensive on their tactic. So, they have been focusing on different tactics to terrorize people
