The Bombing Of The Attack Bombers

When the Oklahoma City bombing happened, it remained the largest terrorist attack to happen on American soil until the attack on 9/11. On April 19, 1995, a rental truck was loaded up with 4,800 pounds of explosives and detonated just after 9:00 am (Krung, Nixon, & Vincent, 1996). The attack was focused on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. This tragic event killed one hundred sixty-eight people and also injured hundreds more (Nacos, 2016). A dare care facility was also located within the building and nineteen children perished in the attack (Nacos, 2016). There were hundreds more victims which were treated by area hospitals and private doctor offices. This explosion was so large, a shockwave was sent across the city which damaged or destroyed an additional 300 buildings in the immediate area (History, 2009). Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicholas were the two men responsible for this devastating attack.

Yemeni law-enforcement officers and the FBI investigated to uncover who was responsible for the terrorist attack on the USS Cole. There were at least six suspects that were being held in detention for

land but on our U.S. military overseas as well; although the terrorist attack on September 11, 2011 was the most significant event ever in history of terrorism (Clarke). According to Against All Enemies written by Richard A. Clarke, a primary and reliable source, before the major event had occurred, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and FBI were heavily involved in fighting foreign attacks operated by Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden in which they did not know at the time were the culprits for all the terrorist violence (Clarke). The main reason why this extraordinary attack happened was because of miscommunication between CIA and FBI; the CIA knew beforehand that Al Qaeda was involved way before, but decided not to inform anyone, not even the FBI (Clarke). If the FBI learned of this earlier, the agency could have prevented the attack by targeting the mastermind of Al Qaeda Osama Bin Laden early on. Because of 9/11, the FBI pursues changes strategically, informatively, and financially. They sought advice from the National Commission of Terrorist Attacks Upon The United States (Commission), and the Commission gave several valuable recommendations to how the FBI should change their approaches to terrorism (FBI Responds…). The agency took in suggestions and applied them to today; members will specialize in one of the four program areas – Intelligence, Counterterrorism/Counterintelligence, Cyber, or Criminal; recruiting, hiring, and retaining of Intelligence Analysts, including having experience and expertise, foreign language, and technology; formation of team to handle national security intelligence operations; and emphasis on detailed reporting from FBI to Congress (FBI Responds…). All of these changes will greatly affect the way FBI combats terrorism. Compared to the past, FBI now does more than just preventing violations of laws, but protects the U.S. through internal improvement and focuses on many factors that

The attack on USS Cole was a suicide bombing conducted by Al Qaeda member, Ibrahim al-Thawr and Absullah al-Misawa under the supposed supervision of Bin Laden which resulted in the death of at least 6 American sailors and left 40 other individuals injured (BBC, 2000). In response Clinton stated before that any assaults could be launched against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan that the CIA or FBI had been sure enough that they ‘would be willing to stand up in public and say, we believe that Bin Laden…’ was behind the attacks (The 9/11 Commission Report, pp 191). However Clinton was never met with this definitive answer he was after and no covert action was taken against Al Qaeda in response to USS Cole. The bombing galvanised Al Qaeda’s recruitment

October 12, 2000, AQ the extremist terrorist group and the Islamic Army of Aden worked together to bomb the USS Cole. The USS Cole was refueling unaware that they had two terrorist on board. The USS Cole was full of explosives. In the midst of refueling tragedy struck when they were rammed by two terrorist ships. A huge gash was ripped on the side of the ship, crew members were underneath the deck eating their lunch when the crash happened.

On Monday, April 15, 2013, two brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, detonated a homemade bomb near the Boston Marathon killing three people and maiming dozens others. Tamerlan, the older brother died in the process leaving Dzhokhar to answer for the heinous crime. Critics are advocating that the surviving bomber, being a US citizen, should have been read his rights before extracting any information from him. Granted that Tsarnaev, a US citizen 's Sixth Amendment of the Bill of Rights were violated, his citizenship became questionable when terroristic acts were committed against America. Because the FBI and law enforcement agencies’ first and foremost agenda was to keep Americans safe, answers were needed immediately to determine if there were plans for bombing other U.S. cities, and they made the most logical decision within the context of the law to react quickly by delaying Tsarnaev’s Miranda Rights justifiably.

The bombing that was caused by the U.S was the coldest and unnecessary thing because it killed innocent civilians, potential important crops were destroyed and people's homes vanished within the winds of the bomb. The things that were affected by the bomb had sparked an even more reason for Japan and the United States to fight. No one could've predicted the bombings result it could've put us in big chaos and could've potentially brought war to our streets.

On august 6th 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, and 3 days later, they dropped another on the city of Nagasaki. The new weapons completely decimated the cities, and killed tens of thousands of people. Japan announced they would surrender to the allies a few days later on august 15. The United States justified their using of the bombs as a means to end the war without an invasion of Japan that would have resulted in thousands of more deaths on each side. While the Japanese did surrender shortly after the bombings, there is ample evidence to suggest that their surrender was imminent, and the use of the atomic bomb only accelerated peace. Through this essay, I will critically analyze justifications on the usage of the bombings, and potential results on this devastating new weapon.

August 6 and 9 came around, and the bombs were dropped. Japan issued their surrender several days later. The bombings could be seen as an event that directly resulted in the end of the war, or merely accelerated it by as little as a few days. Numerous analyses by top United States Army officials say that Japan would have surrendered well before the end of the year even had the bomb not been used. One of these army officals, Major General Curtis Lemay of the air force, said that “the atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war.” He also said that the bombing was justified simply because it speeded up the Japanese surrender, and “probably saved a few lives.” While Lemay may be correct that the dropping of the bomb accelerated the Japanese surrender, it does not justify the killing of innocent civilians, especially if surrender was inevitable. Lemay believed that invasion was not necessary and that conventional bombing also could have ended the war. With that logic, the bombings didn’t save any lives only spent lives.

Bombing of civilian centers in WWII by Germany, Britain and the US was immoral and not necessary because millions of people were killed without reason in strict violation of laws protecting civilians. Intentional bombing of civilian centers did not disrupt military functions of the enemy; it simply killed civilians. This unnecessary death it not only immoral but also illegal. According to accepted principles of war, there must be “military necessity” and a “legitimate military objective” in order for an attack to be allowed. Furthermore, the Allies admit deliberately targeting civilian centers in a pamphlet dropped by the RAF in Germany: "We are bombing Germany, city by city, and ever more terribly, in order to make it impossible for you to

Bombing has the potential to be viewed as an unjustifiable crime because of its destructiveness, similar to the worldview on the extent of war. This topic related because although the Allies had bombing strikes on the Germans it was necessary in order to win. Americans choice to go to war was necessary in order to win back the dignity and continuity.

“National intelligence is still organized around the collection disciplines of the home agencies, not the joint mission. The importance of integrated, all-source analysis cannot be overstated. Without it, it is not possible to “connect the dots.” No one component holds all the relevant information.” While all agencies collect information, only through joint integration can we truly paint an accurate assessment of the facts. As a reference, the report cites the Goldwater Nichols legislation of 1986, in which Operations as a whole were better envisioned though joint co-operative training. It shows the strengths of these types of events and why we must incorporate more joint intelligence to be successful.

In article written by Michael Brown he stated “We were no longer afraid of death; at any rate, not of that death. Every bomb filled us with joy and gave us new confidence in life.” The question came about summer of 1944, more than 90 percent of Jews were dead after about two years or more, of concerning to bomb Auschwitz. The Untied States didn’t bomb Auschwitz because the number of life’s that would be lost and it was an over protected area.

Thursday November 11th , Beirut Lebanon, 40 innocent citizens lost their lives due to a double suicide bombing similar to the paris attack, they were killed at random, in a crowded urban area while going about their daily business. A day later Paris was attacked with a higher kill score. There was to be believed 8 terrorist responsible for the attack on Paris. 7 of those 8 terrorist were french nationals 1 being a syrian man who posed as a refugee, using a fake passport to get into europe. After the ordeal many countries, and facebook users all over the world, lit monuments up in colors to resemble the french flag and overlays to go over their profile pictures, a service the lebanese did not receive.

Intelligence collection and apprehension of criminals have occurred for many years; however, with the exception of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, these actions were performed by different organizations. Nonetheless, roles and responsibilities have changed since the attacks on September 11, 2001. Intelligence-led policing and the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing program were incorporated, and fusion centers were established to help gather intelligence from different levels of the government. Although law enforcement at the local, state, and tribal levels aid in intelligence collection, it is important to ensure that intelligence gathered to protect national security and law enforcement
