What We Know About The Attacks In Spain By Russell Goldman

On September 11, 2001 an Islamic terrorist group attacked the usa.This group disliked the USA a lot but they did not have the sufficient power to attack the USA directly. They decided to crash four planes into memorable places in the USA.

The bombings on the United States embassies in East Africa were several attacks that happened on August 7, 1998 in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. These attacks occurred simultaneously and involved truck bomb explosions at the American embassies in these countries resulting in the death of hundreds of people and destruction of property. Moreover, these attacks happened on the same date that marked the eighth anniversary of the arrival of the United States forces in Saudi Arabia. The genesis of the attacks were largely associated to the members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad that culminated in the placement of Osama bin Laden among the top ten most wanted fugitives by the United States. These attacks on the American embassies were not only shocking to the world but it also resulted in the understanding of the serious security threat posed by terrorists and terror organizations.

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

The 9/11 terror attacks is one of the historical and fatal events that changed the United States of America forever, especially in relation to terrorists and terrorism. While these concepts were on the minds of very few people in America's population before the attacks, the 9/11 incident made terrorism to become one of the major concerns for the whole nation. This is despite of the fact that they were carried out in New York City, Washington, and parts of Pennsylvania. Since it was a major concern, the terror attacks dominated all kinds of media and contributed to increased security measures for average Americans. Moreover, terrorism currently provides a major threat to global security that any time in American and global history (Dyson, 2001, p.3). As a result, it has become a fundamental aspect for law enforcement agencies and their initiatives, particularly with the rapid technological advancements.

On the morning of September 11, 2001 life as we know it in America changed forever. 19 men from a Muslim extremist organization known as al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes with the intent of killing thousands of Americans. Three of the four airplanes hit their targets, the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, the last plane was crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania after the passengers tried to regain control. These attacks killed almost 3,000 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. The man behind these attacks was a Saudi Arabian man named Osama bin Laden. These attacks caused mass panic throughout the world, but it also increased patriotism throughout the United States. It also is what got us into the Global War on Terror.

Terrorism is the most concerned conflict the United States has on its agenda today. On September 11th of 2001, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, killing over 2,000 people and causing the buildings to collapse. This horrendous event caused the U.S. to start research, prepare, and prevent the terrorist attacks. It was discovered that the planes were hijacked by a group of militants from al-Qaeda (terrorists associated with the Islamic Extremist Group). Although the United States has recovered, the Middle East is continued to be left corrupt and unstable. The U.S. stresses that the Middle East will strike again, especially because the rise of power that terrorists have gained over the past years. Since most countries in the Middle East are unfortunately experiencing such low conditions, terrorism has created a large impact on it.

Where security is increased, there are delays that cause problems in other areas. With the additional delays at airports, more travelers choose to travel by automobile. Four hundred additional fatalities have occurred each year on U.S. highways since 9/11 because of increased security at the airpo1rts (Mueller 2010).

A 28-year-old woman was attacked while walking home from work in Lowell, Massachusetts on the 16th of November 1983 (“Dennis Maher,” 2016). A man she did not know approached her and tried to engage the woman in conversation prior to forcing her into a yard nearby, where he proceeded to sexually assault her (“Dennis Maher,” 2016). The next evening, a 23-year old woman walking home from work was pushed to the ground by a man yielding a knife less than one hundred yards from the site of the first assault (“Dennis Maher,” 2016). After a fervent struggle, the second victim was able to escape her assailant and notified the police (“Dennis Maher,” 2016). The description given to the police stated that the assailant was a male wearing a red-hooded sweatshirt and a military-style khaki jacket (“Dennis Maher,” 2016).

Terrorist attacks generally take place on a larger scale given the political and ideological reasoning behind the attack. In most cases, state and federal law enforcement agencies take the lead on the investigation and response. However, with most attacks requiring detailed and thorough planning on all levels, local law enforcements agencies are essential to thwarting any potential acts of terror before they occur. The inclusion of these smaller agencies increases the level of preparedness and responsiveness to any potential threat while at the same time, benefiting both smaller and larger agencies.

This weeks article was titled, “A History of The 9/11 Attacks” The main idea of the article is that on 9/11/01 there was a terrorist attack. Two Planes crashed into the twin towers and killed 3,000 people. The 19 attackers were here months before september 11th. They smuggled box cutters and knives into the three coast airports. Planes crashed into New York buildings, American airlines flight 77 went around Washington DC and slammed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters. 125 people were killed in the pentagon, along with 64 aboard the airliner. Three thousand people died in the world trade center, including 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 New York police officers, 37 port authority officers. Only 6 people in the

Today if you ask anybody about the term “terrorism” everyone would say that 9/11, and the attacks on the United States homeland were the most quintessential attacks ever performed by a terrorist organization. Those attacks brought war upon the United States and ultimately lost multiple lives that gained us nothing but the brokenness of families of fallen soldiers. The term “terrorism” is made to cause a change in the system that will give the opposing forces recognition not to be tampered with. That goal was met when the 9/11 attacks commenced, but there was another attack that was about 20 years earlier that had the same impact and caused a mass withdrawal of U.S. forces and caused the most aggressive president in history to give into the terrorists demand. I introduce Beirut 1983, in Lebanon, in the midst of a civil war; a new form of extremist terrorism began on a fateful day that killed 241 servicemen.

The vice of gambling is not an addiction that I indulge in, luckily. That said I would venture a guess, or better yet place a bet that you have never read a book titled “Inside Terrorism” written by Bruce Hoffman. In his book Bruce Hoffman defines terrorism as “the deliberate creation and exploitation of fear through violence or the threat of violence in the pursuit of political change.” The United States does not have the luxury of kicking back and watching from the sidelines the war against terrorism take place. Currently the USA is not only involved in but is one of the prime combatants against terrorism in the following wars: War in Afghanistan, War in North-West Pakistan, and the War on ISIL. The effects of war are not ones that US citizens should continue to live with and permit if technology can be implemented to reduce and effectively combat terrorism. Some of the more severe effects of war are first and foremost lives of American soldiers being cut short, soldiers acquiring Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and a monumental economic impact and drain of the hardworking American citizens’ tax dollars. What were once yester year’s dreams and subjects of science fiction novels has materialized into reality for the US and its arsenal to fight terrorism. Drones are an effective weapon against terrorism, and their use when justified save lives of American soldiers, reduce incidences of PTSD, and decrease the economic impact of war.

On April 15, 2013 there was a horrific scene that occurred on the street in the city of Boston. This all happened while a widely recognized event took place which was the Boston Athletic Associations yearly marathon. Many people attend this marathon each year, in 2013 it is said that 38,708 entries were received to run in the marathon. With such a large amount of people attending this you can see why it would be important for a terrorists to plot an attack, such an attack would devastate and scare not only people around the Boston area but nationwide. Two brothers by the name of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were affiliated with a foreign terrorist organization that has roots in Chechnya, had planted two bombs near the finish line at the

The terrorist attack in Barcelona was a tragedy that sparked endless debates, generated fear and confusion, and overtook the news. In CNN’s August 2017 coverage of the Barcelona attack, the reporters first introduce us to the issue by mentioning ISIS and a death toll of thirteen people – a very eye-catching lead that will for sure garner the most attention (Griffiths). After all, in the Internet age, competition for the most number of online readers is crucial for maximizing ad revenue. The article then goes on to reveal the four men that have been arrested for the attack. According to the report, three of the men were
