  • U.S. Department of State, 1996 Patterns of Global Terrorism
    Archive Site for State Department information prior to January 20, 2001. This site is not updated. RETURN to the current State Department web site. 1996 Patterns of Global Terrorism Report Table of Contents Introduction Terrorism in 1996 continued to cause grave concern and disruption in scores of countries. Combating this menace remains a very high priority for the United States and many other nations. But finding clear "patterns" in this form of political violence is becoming more difficult. The Department of State's annual Patterns of Global Terrorism focuses primarily on international terrorism involving citizens or territory of two or more states. It also describes but does not provide statistics on domestic terrorism abroad, which is an even more widespread phenomenon. The number of international terrorist incidents has fallen, from a peak of 665 in 1987, to 296 in 1996, a 25-year low. Moreover, about two-thirds of these attacks were minor acts of politically motivated violence against commercial targets, which caused no deaths and few casualties. Yet while the incidence of international terrorism has dropped sharply in the last decade, the overall threat of terrorism remains very serious. The death toll from acts of international terrorism rose from 163 in 1995 to 311 in 1996, as the trend continued toward more ruthless attacks on mass civilian targets and the use of more powerful bombs. The threat of terrorist use of materials of mass destruction is an issue of growing concern, although few such attempts or attacks have actually occurred. Finally, domestic terrorism, in countries such as Algeria, India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, appears to be growing and is more serious, in gross terms, than international terrorism.

  • Terrorist Assets Report 1996
    TERRORIST ASSETS REPORT (January 1997) 1996 Annual Report to the Congress on Assets Belonging to Terrorist Countries or International Terrorist Organizations SUMMARY More than 3.1 billion dollars in assets of seven state sponsors of terrorism are located within U.S. jurisdiction. Of that amount more than $3.0 billion are blocked by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant to economic sanctions imposed by the United States against five of the terrorist countries. In addition, approximately $734,000 in assets of international terrorist organizations which were identified and blocked within the united States in 1995, remain blocked in 1996. BACKGROUND Section 304 of Public Law 102-138, as amended by Public Law 103-236 (22 U.S.C. § 2656g), requires the Secretary of the . Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and appropriate investigative agencies, to provide annual reports to the Congress concerning the nature and extent of assets held in the United States by terrorist countries and organizations engaged in international terrorism. The Department of the Treasury submitted its first Terrorist Assets Report to the Congress in April 1993. The current report, covering calendar year 1996, is the fifth successive Terrorist Assets Report. The Terrorist Assets Report is submitted to the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Finance in the Senate and to the Committee on International Relations and the Committee on Ways and Means in the House. It was prepared by the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), which has the responsibility for administering and enforcing economic sanctions programs mandated by the President pursuant to his declaration of a national emergency with respect to particular foreign countries and non-state parties.

For sale by the US. Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documenta, Mail Stop: SSOP, Washington, DC 20402-9328 Foreword ithin the United States, only the federal government has the re- sources to support large-scale, applied research and develop- ment programs for aviation safety and infrastructure. Federally sponsored aviation research has received considerable congres- sionalw attention in the last decade due to the need to modernize and expand the U.S. airspace system, address aircraft safety and environmental issues, and respond to terrorism threats against air travelers. The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and its Subcommittee on Competitive- ness and Technology (now the Subcommittee on Technology, Environment and Aviation) asked the Office of Technolog y Assessment to take a compre- hensive look at the federal R&D that underpins the Federal Aviation Ad- ministration’s technology and regulatory development programs. Long- term research efforts and airline economics were special concerns. The study was also endorsed by the House Subcommittee on Aviation of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation, and the House Subcom- mittee on Government Activities and Transportation of the Committee on Government Operations. This report focuses on research and technology policy issues for aviation operations: safety, security, environmental protection, and the air traffic system. Achievements in science and technology have helped make the U.S.

  • Pan Am 73 Sentg Narrative.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION We are here to remember. We are here to recount. We are here to bear witness. We are here to pay tribute. We are here to punish. We are here for justice. We are here to remember. Defendant Safarini committed his crime more than 17 years ago. The United States government never forgot. Within less than 48 hours after Pakistan had released the defendant from prison, the FBI captured him and brought him to this country to face the charges against him. The victims of this deadly hijacking and their family members have certainly never forgotten. They live every day without their loved ones who were killed. They live every day with the injuries, both physical and emotional, inflicted by the defendant. The victims have filled a notebook with their memories of pain and loss. Some have published articles and others have written books. They have told the Court in writing about their feelings and their grief. They surely have not forgotten. We are here to recount. The facts of this case are brutal. Mere words cannot adequately convey the carnage experienced by those aboard Pan Am Flight 73. We will do our best to recount the facts of this deadly terrorist attack, accompanied by visual images that provide a glimpse into the horror that took place aboard that plane. Then, victim after victim, family member after family member, will recount their own experiences. The voices of those victimized by the defendant will be heard. We are here to bear witness. More than 50 victims and family members have traveled here from around the world and around the country to bear witness to the defendant’s sentencing.

    Case 1:10-mc-00077-JDB Document 38 Filed 05/12/10 Page 1 of 30 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PAN AM FLIGHT 73 LIAISON GROUP, Movant, v. No. 10-mc-0077 (JDB) GIATRI DAVÉ & GARGI DAVÉ, Respondents. MEMORANDUM OPINION This action arises out of a dispute over the enforceability of a contract -- termed the Joint Prosecution Agreement ("JPA" or "the Agreement") -- by which victims of the 1986 hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 agreed to jointly pursue legal remedies. Giatri Davé and Gargi Davé, victims of the hijacking and respondents here, brought suit in California state court seeking a declaratory judgment that the JPA was unenforceable. The Pan Am Flight 73 Liaison Group ("the LG"), a defendant in the Davés' California action and the movant here, thereafter initiated this action to compel the Davés to arbitrate their claims. It also has moved for a preliminary injunction seeking to hold in escrow disputed assets. For their part, the Davés have moved to transfer this case, or to stay the case pending the termination of the California action. The Court heard oral arguments on the parties' motions on March 4, 2010. In an order issued on May 7, 2010, the Court granted the LG's motion to compel arbitration, and denied both the Davés' motion to transfer or to stay, and the LG's motion for a preliminary injunction.1 This opinion articulates the 1 The Davés filed a motion for a temporary restraining seeking to stay arbitration proceedings on May 3, 2010, which precipitated the need for the May 7 order.
