The Mastermind Behind The Paris Attacks

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.

There were 19 people who helped on 9/11 and they also had weapons. They were associated with the Islamic group called Al Qaeda. They hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against a couple places in the USA. Al Qaeda is located in the Middle East. The 19 terrorists easily smuggled box cutters and knives through security at three east coast airports. They got on four morning flights that were going to California. The terrorists chose those flights

Between 2002 and 2004, Bissonnette also

When most people think of Domestic terrorism one name comes to mind. Timothy McVeigh, who is a well known name and most people, can identify him as the Oklahoma City bomber. He is the man behind the second biggest terrorist attack on American soil to date. The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma killed 168 people and injured hundreds more. History.com Staff. (2009). Which at the time was the biggest terrorist attack before September 11th 2001. Timothy McVeigh lived a rather normal childhood, where he acted just like other kids in his rural town of

A few hours after the photos were released the suspects shot an MIT police officer multiple times killing him. The two of them then carjacked a Mercedes-Benz in a neighborhood of Boston where they took the owner of the car hostage. They then forced the hostage to withdraw money from an ATM (Shallwani, 2013). The car’s owner was able to escape when the suspects stopped at a gas station. His cellphone remained in the stolen vehicle, allowing police to focus on Watertown (Shallwani, 2013). On April 19th shortly after midnight the brothers were spotted by a local police officer in Watertown (Arsenault, 2013). Within minutes the area was a standoff between the police and the brothers. As many as 300 bullets were exchanged between police and the brothers in the firefight (Arsenault, 2013). The suspects threw pipe bombs at the police when they were surrounded as well as a copy of their pressure cooker bomb, an exact duplicate of the Boston Marathon bombs. After several minutes of tense gunfire and homemade bombs going off the elder brother, Tamerlan, walked towards the officers until he ran out of ammunition (Arsenault, 2013). The cops then tackled Tamerlan but had to quickly scatter when the younger brother came in the stolen SUV and ran over Tamerlan (Arsenault,

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

For example in 2006 there was a terror plot in Canada where two ring leaders named Fahim Ahmad and Zakaria Amara planned to blow up a truck, open fire in a crowded place and behead the prime minister of Canada. The two men had for years listened to videos from 9/11 detailing the hijackers lives and motives for the crime. Ahmad and Zakaria went as far as having training camps much like what Bin Laden did in his early stages when making a terrorist group. Before anything could happen an informant breached the terrorist group and the police were able to stop the crime before it took place. Ahmad and Zakaria was charged along side 16 others but, only 11 were convicted of the crime. In 2013 in Toronto Canada, Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser were charged in connection of an alleged Al-Qaeda plot to derail a New York to Toronto train on the Canadian border. As many of the top advisors in Al-Qaeda start to grow older, many are left wondering what will happen to the terrorist group. For one, there is a new and more radical terrorist group that claims to be the voice of the Islamic people, they are known as, " ISIS" short for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and the group's goal is to take over responsibility and to be able to control the Muslims population. One of the biggest attacks ISIS has done was the 2015 Paris attack that killed 170 people and left

The men did not stand out; they often wore polos and khakis, lived in average apartments, and ate out at restaurants. A few of the men lived in the United States for years and even took flying lessons while they were here. Terrorists of the Al-Qaeda group that carried out the attacks shows that they are carefully hand picked and are not afraid to die while causing as much destruction as possible.

Merah held at least three Colt .45 pistols, a 9mm Sten submachine gun, a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a pump-action shotgun, and uzi machine pistol, and a Colt Python .357 revolver.

On April 12, 2013, it was a special day in Massachusetts. Many people gather to watch runners for an iconic run through Boston. Today would be the change of many people’s life. An eight-year-old would lose his life along with two other people. Almost twenty people would go on to become an amputee. The Tsarnaev brothers studied “how to” videos and documents showing them how to construct a homemade bomb. In the description, there was a statement telling them to trust in Allah. Two homemade bombs were placed near the finish line, probably a block apart. The first one going off closer to the finish line. As soon as the bomb goes off, all there is to see is a giant area, behind the fencing, of blood, people screaming and an immediate panic. The next couple days were a race to get the suspects apprehended before more carnage could happen. The city was locked down. The brothers were linked

A report that was released by the United States Justice Department on February 12, 2016, showed that a “Florida man pleads guilty to a hate crime for threatening to firebomb two mosques and shoot worshippers.” The 43-year-old man by the name Martin Alan Schnitzler was arrested by the FBI on November 17, 2015, after he made numerous threats to shoot children in the head and firebomb a mosque in Petersburg, Florida. In his two recorded messages, Schnitzler said that he is watching the news report that covered the terrorist attacks in Paris. In these attacks, 130 lives were lost while more than 300 were seriously injured. Those responsible for these series of attacks were members of a terrorist group known as the Islamic States of Iraq and Levant (ISIL). Since ISIL members claim to be practicing Muslims and also fighting for the cause of Islam (Jihad), Schnitzler showed the same enmity he has for the ISIL terrorists to his non-violence Muslim neighbors. For this reason, he wanted to avenge the death of the victims of the Paris attacks by firebombing and shooting his Muslim neighbors’ two-year-old children in the head.

Farook and Malik along with another accomplice walked in wearing all black tactical gear and were yielding machine guns. Both the handguns recovered from the scene were purchased by Farook legally three or four years before, the two rifles were purchased by a possible former roommate three or four years before however, they believe he had nothing to do with the incident. Investigators also found in the conference room of Inland Regional three explosive devices packed with black powder and rigged to remote control cars. The couple planned to use the remote control cars to detonate the explosives from a distance however didn’t work and the remotes were found in the SUV they were driving. The latest question they are trying to answer is how he got the money to get all the supplies. They discovered a loan provider from WebBank weeks before the attack which he gave half to his mother and used the other on supplies. In response to this attack there has been a lot of pressure on Muslims to apologize for the event, however they have raised more than $100,000 to give to the families of the deceased to help for their funeral costs. Investigators are still investigating the case and more

The Boston Marathon Bombing took place on April 15. 2013 close to the finish line of a marathon that was taking place. The individual responsible for the terrorist attack were two brothers by the names of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The two brothers created bombs from nails and other items in a pressure cooker which they learned to make from an online website. The Tsarnaev brothers placed the pressure cooker in backpacks.

The attackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations. Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization were allegedly acting the U.S. in retaliation for their support of Israel, their involvement in the Persian Gulf War and their military presence in the Middle East. Some of the terrorists lived in the United States for more than a year and had taken flying lessons at American flight schools. The others had snuck into the country in the months before September 11th and were considered the “muscle” in the operation. They smuggled box-cutters and knives through the loose security at three East Coast airports and boarded four different airliners bound for California, they chose these flights because they were filled with jet fuel for the long flight across the country. After takeoff, they raided the cockpit of the planes and took control, doing this turned the normal passenger jets into huge missiles.
