The Oklahoma City bombing was a bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in downtown Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 by Timothy McVeigh, an American militia movement sympathizer who detonated an explosive-filled truck parked in front of the building. McVeigh's co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, had assisted in the bomb preparation. This terror attack killed 168 people.

That they are misguided, mis-targeted and ineffective.
What is the solution for Islamic terrorism?
The question is not quite right. I am not a Muslim, and I do understand some of the discomforts around questions of Islam. But in fairness, terrorism is not a function of Islam itself. Many Muslims are as upset about the current radical extremism of some Islamic groups as are non-Muslims. The radical and extremist groups that come from Islamic backgrounds are the problem, not Islamic faith itself. Because this kind of movement is not specifically a nationalistic agenda, going to war with specific nations by itself is not going to be an effective strategy.
Some more details from a Muslim Point of viewThe question considers that Islamic terrorism is a fact and it is required to find a solution for it...Anyone reading the first principles of Islam and major teachings of the prophet Muhammad and God's commands in His holy Quran will recognize that Islam is a religion of peace and mercy and that Islam does not permit terrorism but is absolutely against it.
In the Quran, Islam's holy book, God says:
"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers."(Quran, chapter 60, verse 8)
In military conflict, Prophet Muhammad prohibited soldiers from killing women, children, old people, or any civilian. He would advise them: "...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.: And he also said: "Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years."
Also, Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.
He once listed murder as the second of the major sins (the first major sin is denying the oneness of God), and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, "The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed."
Muslims are encouraged to be kind even to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad said: "A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth."
He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet was asked, "Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?" He said: "There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human."
Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) said: "When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal."
In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.
Islam calls for peace, love, and for living in harmony with all people irrelevant to their cultures, faiths, gender, or color.
Islamic terrorism is a new term falsified by media and politicians to go ahead with their plans of getting control of Muslim countries and to limit the number of people converting to Islam.

What is the real truth about 9-11?
The real truth is as was reported. Evidence of terrorism was found, and the names of the perpetrators are known. Don't pay any attention to the conspiracy theories, which range from uninformed to obscene.
They claim that they follow a variant of Wahhabi Sunni Islam of the Hanbali School. However, a number of Muslims will argue that they are not "true" Muslims because they are violent and have repeatedly killed other Muslims in brutal ways.
Did Tim mcveigh speak at his execution?
McVeigh, 33, did not speak before he was executed June 11 in a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. But in a handwritten statement, he quoted a section of the poem 'Invictus,' which reads in part 'I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.'
How far back does the relationship between Osama bin laden and the US go?
It goes back to the 1970's when he was fighting Russia in Afghanistan. The US supported him, gave his fighters training and arms, and provided funds for his fight. He took what he learned in the 1970's and used it later in his fight against the west after Russia left Afghanistan.
Do drug users realize drugs fund terrorism?
Heroin use in Europe funds Afghan Taliban activities and some of Al Qaeda activities. That Heroin does not enter the USA (usually).
US heroin comes from mainly 2 sources. The first is Columbia (This is mostly the east coast white heroin) and generally comes from Farc and other rebel groups in Columbia (not really terrorists), and the occasional Drug lord. Likewise, The second heroin comes from Mexico and is to be found mostly on the west coast and is black tar heroin and is funded by the drug groups interested in money only (again not terrorists....but bad men nonetheless).
Cocaine and meth mostly comes from COlumbia and Mexico (meth) these days.
Cannibis usually comes from within the US and some comes from Mexico.
So, pretty much none of the US drug use funds terrorism. European Heroin use does though.
Oh, forgot one group.....N Korea and the orient. Some heroin comes into cities like NY that way, but it's minor in comparison to the columbians and Mexicans.
Cyberterrorism is a controversial term. Some authors choose a very narrow definition, relating to deployments, by known terrorist organizations, of disruption attacks against information systems for the primary purpose of creating alarm and panic.
an assault on electronic communication networks. In the related links box below, I posted the wikipedia article on computer crime.
What cabinet office deals with terrorism?
The Department of Homeland Security plays the major role. The Director of National Security as well as the FBI ( treasury department)and the Department of Defense are involved and probably the department of State. Treasury also keep track of international funding sources of terrorist organizations.
Is it worth sacrificing some personal liberties to protect our country from terrorism?
This is a highly-contested question and the answer often depends on which personal liberties are up for re-evaluation. Most people would be willing to go through extra security at airports in order to prevent terrorism, but would not be willing to permit widescale torture to achieve this. Where any person falls on this question is very much a personal question and those who want more security are stigmatized as insensitive to the innocent victims caught in the crossfire, while those who want more liberties are stigmatized as insensitive to the violence and death caused by terrorism.
No. They are not. The powers are divided in the US Constitution for good reason.
What is the primary objective of any counter insurgency COIN operation?
To foster development of effective governance by a legitimate government
The similarities between the internationalization of terrorism in Europe and the terrorist networks of Middle East is the belief of a utopian government. Some examples of terrorism in Europe would be the Red Brigades and the Action Direct, in addition to the Corsican movement.

John means the man that walked on the mo rains he was a siberean tiger and the other half of him was chinese
Answer 1
The assertion is that Hamas locates military assets in civilian zones. There is no reason to expect that Hamas or Israeli leaders should not live among civilians. Leaders and statesmen are usually not considered valid military targets.
Answer 2
The question misunderstands the assertion. It is not that Hamas Leaders locate themselves in civilian areas that is the issue, but that rockets and missiles are launched from civilian zones. As a result, Israel finds that in destroying the weaponry, there are civilian casualties. Additionally, Hamas adds to the carnage by specifically choosing places like schools where the innocents involved will be women and/or children. Israeli leaders usually put missile batteries, military airstrips, and other war-related technologies outside of civilian zones (like most countries) so that conflict will not involve civilian casualties.
Note that unlike certain others, Israel does all it can to avoid targeting civilians.
