  • France, 1986 -- After the French government refused the use of its air space to US warplanes headed for a bombing raid on Libya, the planes were forced to take another, longer route; when they reached Libya they bombed so close to the French embassy that the building was damaged and all communication links knocked out.
  • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 13, 1985 -- A bomb dropped by a police helicopter burned down an entire block, some 60 homes destroyed, 11 dead, including several small children. The police, the mayor's office, and the FBI were all involved in this effort to evict a black organization called MOVE from the house they lived in.

  • a terrorist is the one who make terror, not just killing, but can be by threating others, destroying peace. sometimes killing not just by gun or weapon, but can be by words...
  • And what about the providers of bombs ...
  • Thanks for sharing, Josef!  Bombing is much more terrible, isn't it?

    I guess the US and Chinese army must have already known each other very well since the Vietnam and Korean wars.

     

  • Terror and terrorist is created by policy of superpowers in the world , 

    History shows that the first terrorist organization in the world was called Hashshashin and they lead by Hassan-i Sabbah in the late 11th century in the heart of the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran and we can find out that the reason why they became the first terrorist organization was the cruel policy of superpowers at that time .

    And for now some terrorist organizations like Al Qaide is tried to fight with superpowers as well , But among of all these horrible matters who can tell us why innocent people must die because of this kind of battle . Where our world comes to and why we have to see this situations ???

     

    Money and Power , Are the most reasons why make our world collapse ...
