Terrorism's most significant attacks...

[NcDeuce]

Curious to see the many attacks that have had huge impacts on foreign policy everywhere.

In no particular order...

1. The attacks on September the 11th, 2001.

2. Truck bomb at Beirut, 1983.

3. Olympic games at Munich, 1972.

4. Truck bomb in Saudi Arabia, 1996.

5. Iranian hostage crisis, 1979-1980.

6. Bombings at U.S. embassies in East Africa, 1998.

On July 22, 1946, members of the Jewish terrorist organization Irgun Tsvai-Leumi in the British Mandate of Palestine planted and exploded a bomb at the King David Hotel (http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Palestine/Kingdavid.htm). The hotel was the base for the British military command and the British Criminal Investigation Division. 91 people were killed: 28 British, 41 Arab, 17 Jewish, and 5 other. Around 45 people were injured.

The attack was ordered by David Ben Gurion and directed by Menachem Begin, both of whom would later become Israeli Prime Ministers. The attack was conducted by the Irgun Tsvai-Leumi, an Israeli terrorist organisation. It was commanded by Yosef Avni and Yisrael Levi.

The attack on the hotel was the largest terrorist attack against the British in the history of the Mandate. Some claim this terrorist act should be considered in light of the escalating violence in the region, and the continuing conflict between the three main forces in the region: British, Israeli, and Palestinian. In particular, the attack was made in retalitation for the British Operation Agatha.

Do you have any links about Israeli terror acts in London? You know,

blowing up buses or something like that...

It will be funny to hear people justify such acts...

BTW, I'm not sure about the integrity of some details (Ben Gurion tried to kill Begin several times so I don't think he ordered him to do anything...)
But in general it is true, the british denied rescue of Jews from Europe and the people in Israel did their best in order to change their mind about it...
Thing is, Ben Gurion (Rabin, Peres and some more) were against any terror actions and they even cooperated with the british in order to stop them.

HELLO ... is any body in there ... Ever heard of a thing called the IRA, they're based in a place called Ireland, it's an Island to the West of England. They carried out terrorist attacks in England and Ireland for the last 30 odd years which, obviously, everyone in England finds hilarious and thinks is a jolly good old joke.

[Seiyuuki]

How 'bout the very very very first terrorist attack in the history of mankind...I'm sure somebody could dig up some info. on that.

[James]

Gavrilo Princip and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 altered history in a monumental way. This was the event that more or less started World War One. If WWI hadn't been fought, WWII wouldn't have happened. There also might not have been such a fertile ground for the Russian Revolution in 1917, and hence no Cold War. If one takes this to an extreme, one can argue that The Archduke's assassination in 1914 paved the way for history in such a way that in excess of 80,000,000 people died violently over the next 77 years. The U.S. went from an isolated nation to world power to superpower. European colonialism faded into history. The UN was formed.

It's impossible not to generalize when you see comments like Vance's that show's a complete lack of understanging of world affairs. There are many posts on this site that show support for the IRA from the US and NORAID was a major source of funding for the IRA. If the people of the US want support for the "war on terrorism ",and by that I mean those who post to this site then get upset when somebody disagrees with there views they must realise a terrorist is anybody using terrorist tactics. I dont have the time space or memory to list the atrocites carried out by the various Irish terror groups over the last 30+ years during which very little if any signs of support for the British soldiers or disgust at the terrorists came from the US government or people.

If I were to put:

The bombing in US, as well.....killed 2000+ I think. Really brought the US to realize terrorism is no joke...

Then I'm sure it would offend a lot of people and quite rightly so.

Terrorism was going on a long time before 9/11

[Vance]

Well of course it has. But I was talking about the AQ terror and not the IRA terror.

[Dave.mil]

Whats the difference?

[Argyll]

Vance the header ask about terrorists in General,lets not start bronging this into an AQ thing.

For the Brits

Warrenpoint 18 Paratroopers killed by the IRA,one of them my next door neighbours nephew
The murder of Earl Mountbatten by the INLA
The Droppin Well masacre in which 13(?) were killed by the IRA
Omagh bombing by the Unofficial IRA
Warrington Town Centre.........by the IRA
hell I don't have enough space and time to go through every incident that a life was lost through an act of terrorism by the IRA/INLA,the amount over the 25 years is nearly 10000 I believe,over 1000 of these Soldiers and Policemen.............we have been dealing with terror since the late 60's ...........it's nothing new to us

[Rantanplan]

Didn't the IRA terror started in the early 20's?

[Gordon]

The bombing in Bali, as well.....killed 190 I think. Really brought the British and Australians to realize terrorism is no joke...

Well of course it has. But I was talking about the AQ terror and not the IRA terror.

Because, of course, when the events of 9/11 occurred everyone in Australia and the UK thought it was a huge joke until the bombings that happened in Bali ... that really opened our eyes.

[Argyll]

Easter uprisings in 1916 saw the birth of the IRA as we know it.
I guess it was around that time that they rebelled against the "crown".
There are certain individuals who have appeared here rescently who have been "banging on" about their countries war with terroism,whislt we have had same for just as long,and have suffered the same,the loss of innocent lives many women and children.
It was also the attack on 9/11 that brought it to the USA's front door,any attack on a countries home soil shows vulnerability on their behalf,and the determination to cause so much damage on the terrorists behalf.
Like I said previously there are plenty of Acts committed bythe IRA/INLA that could be posted here.

I'm staggered by this I'm not sure which planet your UK is on but I sure as hell did'nt see anybody laughing the Sun newspaper was not running amusing 9/11 headlines or caption competitions for the most amusing caption for a picture of the towers collapsing!!!!

If you thought it was a joke that's your problem but as somebody else wrote "Please don't generalize"

And specifically the IRA's actions:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1201738.stm

The British population (including myself) have been living under the thrall of terrorism for a long long time, much of it funded by quite a large amount of American citizens. I wonder, if the IRA was at its height today and NORAID was still going strong, would the USA put itself on the list of countries that support terrorism?

Oh, and dont get me wrong, I'm not anti-US, anti-war or anything like that, i support the war in Afghanistan, in Iraq and wherever else the terrorists are being fought, however, something should have been done sooner. History seems to be repeating itself, the world has to wait until America itself is attacked before anything is seriously done about a problem, its happening with terrorism now, and it happened with facism 60-65 years ago.

Well, on the forum that I went on at the time of the terror attacks (9/11) there were alot of Europeans (UK and Aussies, too.) there, and they weren't really concerened about their well-being or anything like that. As soon as the bombings in Bali happened, they were all saying ''Let's get the mother****ers'' ''How could they do this'' and stuff like that. Maybe it was just on the forum I went to, who knows.

And were the people that frequented that forum young? If so they may not remember the terrorism. Although not being a member of the British Armed Forces, i have lived around an infantry regiment of the british army for the best part of two decades (a parent was a serving member), and i was reminded of the terrorism every day, having to check under the car before getting in, just incase someone has decided to plant a car bomb. Being stopped at checkpoints by soldiers with mirrors also looking for explosive devices, the various posters warning of terrorists, and the constant possibility that one day either I, or a family member could lose their life.

Terrorism is not new, and should not be seen as a new world threat, it has always been a world threat and most likely always will be.
