he Worst Terrorist Attack In History:
Currently, USA is conducting a series of drone strikes in the tribal belt of Pakistan to destabilize the terrorist groups and a full scale operation is expected to take place in North Waziristan like South Waziristan. Recently, the top news is that the Al-Qaeda’s leader Osama bin Laden, has been by killed by USA Special Forces in his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Let us run through some of the worst terrorist attacks in the world
1. 9/11 World Trade Center attack
These were a series of coordinated attacks by Al-Qaeda on America on September 11, 2001. Four commercial passenger jet airliners were hijacked by 19 Al-Qaeda members and they intentionally steered two of the planes towards the Twin Towers of World Trade Center, consequently bringing them down to earth. The third airliner was crashed into The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. and the fourth one crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania. There were no survivors from any of the flights. This event triggered many changes in the world as a whole and was the beginning of a very horrendous film for the humans across the globe because humans had to pay a very heavy price of this terrorist attack and this fact is conspicuous from the current state of affairs.
2. The Oklahoma City bombing
This incident took place on April 19, 1995 and it was an attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. It was the most deadly terrorist attack on the American soil until 9/11,and it claimed 168 lives, including 19 children under the age of 6,[1] and injured more than 680 people.
3. The 2008 Mumbai attacks
It is also referred to as November 26 or 26/11 and this terrorist attack targeted India’s largest city Mumbai. It was actually a series of 10 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai by Islamic terrorists who are believed to have come from Pakistani Seawaters and backed by ISI, Pakistani secret service agency. It affected the Indo-Pak relation immensely and the bilateral relations were debilitated which have never returned to normalcy since.
