    National Counterterrorism Center 2007 Report on Terrorism 30 April 2008 National Counterterrorism Center This page intentionally left blank 1 2007 Report on Terrorism FOREWORD: Consistent with its statutory mission to serve as the U.S. Government's knowledge bank on international terrorism, the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is providing this report and statistical information to assist academics, policy makers and the public in understanding the data. The statistical information included in this report is drawn from the data NCTC maintains on the www.nctc.gov website. The report includes the following: -- this foreword, which provides important context for the contents of this report; -- a methodology section that explains how the data was compiled and the inherent limitations of the data; -- NCTC observations related to the statistical material; -- statistical charts and graphs; and -- summaries of high fatality attacks during 2007 -- academic letter on challenges to cataloging attacks Section 2656f(b) of Title 22 of the U.S. Code requires the State Department to include in its annual report on terrorism "to the extent practicable, complete statistical information on the number of individuals, including United States citizens and dual nationals, killed, injured, or kidnapped by each terrorist group during the preceding calendar year." While NCTC keeps statistics on the annual number of incidents of "terrorism," its ability to track the specific groups responsible for each attack involving killings, kidnappings, and injuries is significantly limited by the availability of reliable open source information, particularly for events involving small numbers of casualties. The statistical material compiled in this report, therefore, is drawn from the number of attacks of "terrorism" that occurred in 2007, which is the closest figure that is practicable for NCTC to supply in satisfaction of the above-referenced statistical requirements.

  • Frederick William Dame the Destruction of the United
    FREDERICK WILLIAM DAME THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PART II INTRODUCTORY REMARKS The reader will not be able to find any essay written by this author on the Internet that is titled The Destruction of the United States of America, Part I . The reason is that the destruction of the United States of America was outlined by Barack Hussein Obama in his first State of the Union speech on January 27, 2010. This was halfway through the destructive activities that Barack Hussein Obama began when he started to occupy the Oval Office on January 20, 2009. Since that day, the destruction has continued at a rapid pace. The United States of America is no longer respected as a world super power, if it is that at all. Barack Hussein Obama's hope was dope for the majority of the American electorate. His goal always was and still is to change the federal republic that is the United States of America into a socialist/communist state. Barack Hussein Obama began the destruction by violating the law of the land, the Constitution for the United States of America . Barack Hussein Obama has committed fraud against the American people. He is the traitor non plus ultra . His destruction of the United States of America continues, as is evidenced by his second State of the Union speech delivered on January 25, 2011. The following investigation is a detailed, sentence-by-sentence examination of what Barack Hussein Obama said with (documented) comments thereto. Barack Hussein Obama's State of the Union Address, Delivered January 25, 2011, As Prepared for Delivery.
