Terrorism

Ski masks help hide the identity of terrorists, which prevents their identification and apprehension by authorities.

Oklahoma City.

1. During the early 1980's this exact question was brought up during some staff briefings. And the vast majority of officers and senior NCOs present had no idea what the speaker was talking about. Whispers were said to one another..."what's he talking about?" No one had heard the term before, other than the common sense definition of terrorism...COMMUNISM and the COLD WAR was what was being discussed! Not no police problem! Believe it or not; that was the end of the "terrorism topic", and the briefer went on with "the standard brief" on current affairs at the time (Reagan was President at this time).

2. In 1989 the Berlin Wall came down, the Soviets began to collapse in 1990.

3. The US military began shutting down it's bases (Base Closures) in mass in 1990.

4. The US military was just about OUT OF WORK!

5. Looking for a reason to stay employed; the US military accepted law enforcement duties, IN LIEU OF BECOMING UNEMPLOYED.

6. Since the mid 1990's the US Military now patrols the US-Mexican Border and chases drug smugglers anywhere and everywhere.

7. The US Military is now (mostly) a law enforcement force. Yes, terrorism is the new challenge & responsibility (almost routine now, since Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2001) for the 21st Century US Military.

Piracy Funds Terrorism was created in 2004.

For Workers Compensation (WC) coverage, technically the answer is "yes", but reality states

Although Hezbollah's conduct was surprising, it suffered a serious setback. Most of its long-range Iranian-supplied missiles were destroyed in the first few hours, forcing it to rely primarily on Katyusha rockets. It's also important to know that Israeli air and naval strikes and speacial operations destroyed numerous Hezbollah bases, arms and munitions dumps, and rockets. In ground fighting, Hezbollah's equipment and human losses were usually greater than those of the Israelis, but they managed to bog Israel down until the end of the war, when an offensive drove them back across the Litani. Israel withdrew only after the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) secured the area to prevent a full-scale Hezbollah return. Hezbollah used to be a state-within-a-state inside South Lebanon, but it's authority was severely weakened. It had taken significant casualties, and lost a good portion of its weaponry (though this was quickly replaced with Iranian shipments).

The only Israeli setbacks were the effectiveness of Hezbollah's anti-tank missiles, which damaged a number of tanks and completely destroyed five (two beyond repair) and knocked out an armored bulldozer. Hezbollah also managed to shoot down an Israeli helicopter for the first time, damage but not sink an Israeli warship, and keep a steady stream of rocket fire into Northern Israel, which caused casualties and damage to infrastructure and the economy. It also managed to inflict serious casualties on the Israelis through urban combat, though it's losses were much higher. Although it captured some equipment, it was not a significant amount. Although Israel failed in it's objective to destroy Hezbollah, Hezbollah failed in it's objective to damage Israel's military capabilities.

Lawful owners of lawful means such as politics, religion, intelligence, military style operations etc. have irresponsibly allowed those means to end in the hands of ordinary people and we have global terrorism.

It is important for the failure of responsibility to be dealt with promptly as things can develop and get out of hand. Now we have terrorism, what will we have in the future?

First of all, the Taliban didn't exist until 1994. Some of the Afghan rebels whom the U.S. aided in the 1980s did have a similar Islamist mentality and some would go on to be supporters of the Taliban, but it's not technically accurate to call them the Taliban.

In the 1980s, the Soviet Union was fighting a war to prop up a communist regime in Afghanistan. As per the framework of the Cold War, the U.S. aided anti-Soviet rebels in order to stop the spread of communism.

The Davidka Square bus bombing was a suicide bombing on June 11, 2003, on Egged bus line 14a in the center of Jerusalem, Israel. 17 people were killed in the attack and over 100 people were injured. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.

In a short sentence: no.

The only way to stop terrorism is improving the lives of poor people and arresting (not killing) high-profile leaders.

The alternative has provided more available manpower to terrorist organizations by people who lost relatives to the so-called military solutions to terrorism. Point in case: if you lost all your family (mom, dad, brothers, sisters and husband/wife or children of your own), surely you wold be more than eager to join any organization that promises you "the heavens" in exchange of killing three or four hundred of the enemy, right?

Central and West Africa is the homebase for Conflict or "Blood" diamonds! This covers many states but by searching "Conflict Diamonds" you can see hundreds of hoirs of intel gathered on this subject!

Terrorists, who want to bring the Country down for whatever reason.

The military wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, is listed as a terrorist organization by Australian Authorities.

Hamas has facilitated no violent action against Australia or Australian citizens as its main target remains Israel. However, an enemy of peace anywhere is an enemy of the peace everywhere.

Taliban movements adherents are mostly found in Afghanistan, where they briefly ruled prior to 2001 American invasion. There is also significant Taliban presence in tribal Areas of western Pakistan.

Conflict diamonds fund civil war, mayhem and other terrorist activities, which kill, maim and otherwise harm humans.

If you're talking about Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, then you will get visited by the Wrath of Sithis at night, and no one will see him. Like other spirits, you have to use silver, daedric, or magic weapons to hurt him, and you can't go back into the sanctuary without being attacked until you kill him. In the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, there are no tenets, so you don't have to worry about that. You have 3 chances to get back in the DB, and if you break the tenets again you're permanently kicked out.

Which Irish Republican Army? The IRA under Michael Collins had the goal of securing the independence of Ireland from Britain, and establishing Ireland as a Republic. The Provisional IRA, Continuity IRA, Real IRA, Irish National Liberation Army, etc. had the goal of trying to force the six counties of Northern Ireland into a union with the rest of Ireland. It should be noted the majority in Northern Ireland remain opposed to union with the Republic of Ireland, and that talk of a "reunified" Ireland is utter nonsense, as Ireland was never unified to begin with.

Currently, as of 2015, Islamic State is the most powerful terrorist group in Iraq with at least 20,000 members, but it was not always this way. Before Islamic State's surprising victories in 2014, this question would be much harder to answer with "largest" and "terrorist" being nebulous words.

If the word "largest" is meant to mean most ubiquitous, then the answer is certainly Al Qaeda since the American Invasion. Al Qaeda operates like a McDonald's, franchising cells across any country in which it exists. In addition, smaller jihadist organizations will reach out to Al Qaeda for funding and the name recognition. In return, Al Qaeda will claim that this smaller independent jihadist organization is part of its ranks, even though their objectives may be different than those of the Al Qaeda leadership.

If the word "largest" is meant to mean the largest internal membership, then the answer is a lot murkier. There are numerous violent groups that operate within the Sunni Triangle (Baghdad-Falluja-Tikrit) and numerous Shia organizations which operate throughout lower Mesopotamia. Accurate accounts of organizational membership almost never exist because the cell structure is loose. In addition, most individuals so affiliated only know the names of those fellow group members that they are very close to so as to limit the efficacy of post-capture interrogation.

If the word "terrorist" only refers to the international organizations certified terrorist organizations by the United States and/or Europe, many of the violent groups in Iraq are necessarily excised because these violent groups are regional and would better be classified as "gangs with machine-guns". Violent groups, such as the one that controls Sadr City (a district of Baghdad), are responsible for many more deaths in Iraq than the certified terrorist organizations. What is also important to note is that many of these violent groups target Iraqis who are either neutral to United States interests or opposed to United States interests as these groups are jostling for power in the new Iraqi structure. The "terrorists" are far from a monolith.

Nords?

This attack was traced back to one man: Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, head of security for Libyan Arab Airways, with ties to Mohmar Qaddafi. One assumes that the Libyan government may have had a hand in this, but forensics on this matter are not forthcoming.

The rules the Taliban enforce is that women have to wear burqas and that girls over the age of eight have to wear chadors.
