65 Question History Test. See If You Can Get 100% 65 QUESTION HISTORY TEST. SEE IF YOU CAN GET 100%. HERE’S THE TEST: 1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by: a. Superman b. Jay Leno c. Long-haired pot head d. A Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40 suffering from pre-traumatic stress disorder. This murderer was a twenty-four year old Palestinian immigrant named Sirhan Sirhan. 2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, Israeli athletes were kidnapped and massacred by : a. Olga Corbett b. Sitting Bull c. Arnold Schwarzenegger d. Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40 unable to cope with the strain of competition between nation states in which they saw medals as signs of warlike domination 3. In November 1979, the US embassy in Tehran Iran was seized and taken over and 66 hostages are taken. This seizure was an outright attack on American Soil. The hostages were held for 444 days and were released on the day of President Reagan’s inauguration. The embassy was taken over by: a. Lost Norwegians interviewing candidates for kinetic Nobel Prizes, for potential future acts of valor they might commit b. Elvis c. A tour bus full of 80-year-old women d. Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40 strained by the invasion of infidels on their soil and unable to attend US universities on scholarship. One of the participants in the seizure of the embassy may have been Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the current President of Iran who holds a Ph.D. in traffic and transport engineering from Tehran University of Science and Technology and was a 23-year old student at the time. 4. Shortly after the Tehran experience, in late 1979, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. These multiple incidents of kidnapping were perpetrated by: a. Disgruntled Americans living abroad. b. Deranged capitalists c. American university students with a grudge. d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40 encouraged by the weak response of America against the US Embassy take over in Tehran. Thirty U.S. and other Western hostages kidnapped in Lebanon alone by Hezbollah during this period. Some were killed, some died in captivity, and some were eventually released. Terry Anderson was held for 2,454 days. 5. During the early 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by: a. John Dillinger b. The King of Sweden c. Boy Scouts d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40 because the religion of peace doesn’t consider kidnapping a crime. 6. The gunman who tried to kill Pope John Paul II by shooting him four times on May 13, 1981 was released from prison on January 12, 2006. Eight months later, on the 21st of September 2006, this same individual warned the new Pope, Pope Benedict XVI, not to ever visit Turkey, saying his life could be in danger. Following the attempt on John Paul II, the bullet-proof Pope-mobile is employed during publically attended events. This person attempting to kill Pope John Paul and Threatening Pope Benedict was: a. An 84-year old Swedish grandmother b. Arnold Schwarzenegger c. Billy Graham d. A Muslim male extremist by the name of Mehmet Ali Agca, who was between the ages of 17 and 40 because his religion of peace permitted it. Quran 9.33 says clearly, "He it is who sent his Apostle (Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists (Roman Catholics) may be averse." He is currently in prison in Turkey for the murder of a journalist. 7. In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut. This constituted another attack on American soil. When the vehicle exploded, it killed 63 people. This vehicle was driven by: a. Janet Napolitano b. Nancy Pelosi c. Two despicable co-conspirators: Joe Biden and Harry Reid d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40, because blowing things up is not condemned by the religion of peace. 8. Just six short months later on October 23, 1983, a large truck heavily laden down with over 12,000 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. Simultaneously, another suicide bomber driving another large truck similarly laden with explosives drove into the French military barracks in Beirut killing 58 French paratroopers who were also part of the Multi National Peacekeeping force. The attacks successfully led to the withdrawal of the Multi-National Peace Keeping Forces from Lebanon. There was no serious retaliation for the Beirut bombing from the Americans or the French. The US Marine barracks and the French Barracks in Beirut were blown up by: a. A pizza delivery boy b. Pee Wee Herman c. Geraldo Rivera (but when he was known as Jerry Rivers) d. A 17-year old Muslim male extremist dressed in a flowing white funeral robe. According to intelligence sources, he had attended his own funeral earlier and was praised by his family as a martyr. There was no turning back for this young boy. The Marine Corps corporal who saw him speed past his checkpoint in the early morning of that fateful day noticed that he had a blissful smile on his face. Blowing things up is not condemned by the religion of peace, and killing infidels is rewarded with 76 virgins in Paradise. 9. Two months later on December 12, 1983, and emboldened by the effectiveness of this tactic in Beirut, another truck loaded with explosives was driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait and a second truck was driven simultaneously into the French Embassy in Kuwait. The 90-minute coordinated attack on two embassies, the country's main airport and oil refineries, was more notable for the damage it was intended to cause than what was actually destroyed. What might have been "the worst terrorist episode of the twentieth century in the Middle East," succeeding in killing only six people because of the bombs' faulty rigging. This truck is driven by: a. Second amendment lunatics b. Radical Christian extremists c. Enraged oil executives intent on removing a major competitor. d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40. The mastermind of the bombing, Jamal Jafaar Mohammed, was sentenced to death in Kuwait for the 1983 bombings of the U.S. and French embassies, but now sits in Iraq's parliament as a member of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's ruling coalition, according to U.S. military intelligence. Jamal Jafaar Mohammed's seat in parliament gives him immunity from prosecution. Washington says he supports Shiite insurgents and acts as an Iranian agent in Iraq. 10. The following year, on September 20, 1984, another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut. Following the earlier attack in April 1983, the embassy was moved to a supposedly “more secure location” in East Beirut. However, on September 20, 1984, another car bomb exploded at this embassy annex, killing twenty Lebanese and two American soldiers. The use of suicide bombing increased dramatically following this incident. This van attacking the sovereign American soil of the U.S. embassy is driven by: a. A Catholic Suicide bomber b. A Jewish suicide bomber c. A group of Presbyterian suicide bombers d. A Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40. 11. On Dec. 3, 1984 in Beirut, Lebanon, Kuwait Airways Flight 221 is hijacked and diverted to Tehran. Kuwaitis monitoring air-to-ground radio broadcasts picked up bloodcurdling sounds from the jet: they were the anguished shrieks and hysterical crying of a man being tortured and maimed. Two Americans were tortured and brutally murdered. The hijack is committed by: a. Angry fellow passengers b. A pilot who had had 1 too many beers and was afraid his passengers would turn him in to authorities c. American Capitalist Pigs d. Five Arab-speaking gun-toting youths (Muslim male extremists) with checkered Arab headcloths drawn over their faces all of whom were between the ages of 17 and 40. 12. On April 12, 1985, a bomb exploded in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid. The bombing was an attack against the El Descanso restaurant just outside Madrid. The explosion killed 18 Spaniards and injured 82 others, including 11 American servicemen, who were believed to be the target of the attack. The perpetrators were: a. Angry Spanish restaurant workers b. Itinerant gypsies c. Spanish separatists d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40. Spanish Interior Minister Jose Barrionuevo blamed the Islamic Jihad Organization, which also personally claimed responsibility for the bombing. 13. On June 14, 1985 in Beirut, Lebanon, TWA Flight 847 which was en route from Athens to Rome was hijacked to Beirut and held for 17 days. A U.S. Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was tortured and executed, and his body was thrown from the plane. The hijack is committed by: a. Captain Kidd b. Charles Lindberg c. Mother Teresa d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40, also known as “Hezbollah terrorists”. The flight was commandeered shortly after takeoff by two German-speaking Lebanese Muslim men who had smuggled pistols and grenades through the Athens airport security. A third intended hijacker, a Muslim male extremist named Ali Atwa, had been bumped from the flight and was later arrested in Greece.

    Table of Contents: Accounting For the Waves of International Terrorism ………….…...3 By Dipak K. Gupta Interpreting the PKK’s Signals in Europe…………………………...10 By Vera Eccarius-Kelly Review Essay: Top 50 Books on Terrorism and Counterterrorism…15 By Joshua Sinai PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume II, Issue 11 Accounting For the Waves of International Terrorism By Dipak K. Gupta “Without the pen of Pain, the swords of Washington would have been wielded in vain.” - John Adams dvancements in sciences come through painstaking observations. Scientists’ astute observations of the seemingly chaotic world pave the way for what is known as “knowledge creep.” Terrorism research is certainly no exception to this rule. One of David Rapoport’s singular contributions to A our advancement of knowledge has been his articulation of the four waves of international terror- ism. Rapoport (2006:10) defines waves with three characteristics: a) a cycle of activities characterized by ex- pansion and contraction phases, b) covering multiple nations, and c) “driven by a common predominant energy that shapes the participating groups’ characteristics and mutual relationships.” By studying the history of ter- rorism since the 1880s, Professor Rapoport identifies four distinct waves fueled by common ideological fervor emanating from anarchism, anti-colonialism, socialism, and religious fundamentalism, respectively, with the first three waves lasting roughly 40 years each. Although the “wave” theory has gained a firm footing in the extant literature on terrorism (Sageman 2008a), to my knowledge, not much effort has gone into the examination of the causes of, and the process by which mega ideas saturate nearly every corner of the earth.

  • Staff Statement No
    Outline of the 9/11 Plot Staff Statement No. 16 Members of the Commission, your staff is prepared to report its preliminary findings regarding the conspiracy that produced the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. We remain ready to revise our understanding of this subject as our work continues. Dietrich Snell, Rajesh De, Hyon Kim, Michael Jacobson, John Tamm, Marco Cordero, John Roth, Douglas Greenburg, and Serena Wille did most of the investigative work reflected in this statement. We are fortunate to have had access to the fruits of a massive investigative effort by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies, as well intelligence collection and analysis from the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the State Department, and the Department of Defense. Much of the account in this statement reflects assertions reportedly made by various 9/11 conspirators and captured al Qaeda members while under interrogation. We have sought to corroborate this material as much as possible. Some of this material has been inconsistent. We have had to make judgment calls based on the weight and credibility of the evidence. Our information on statements attributed to such individuals comes from written reporting; we have not had direct access to any of them. Plot Overview Origins of the 9/11 Attacks The idea for the September 11 attacks appears to have originated with a veteran jihadist named Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM). A Kuwaiti from the Baluchistan region of Pakistan, KSM grew up in a religious family and claims to have joined the Muslim Brotherhood at the age of 16.

  • Tracking Terrorist Financing by Michael E Gray
    Ch F-X ang PD e w Click to buy NOW! w m o w c .d k. ocu-trac Tracking Terrorist Financing By Michael E Gray 1 Ch F-X ang PD e w Click to buy NOW! w m o w c .d k. ocu-trac Introduction As the war on terror has entered it seventh year, efforts to dismantle terrorist financial networks remains an essential part of the strategy. More than 140 millions dollars in terrorist assets have been frozen. Some 1,600 bank accounts have been seized world wide. Terrorist groups have become increasingly adapted to eluding detection through the use of cash, shell companies and money laundering operations. Charities donations and informal money transfer centers (hawals) are strongly embedded in the Islamic culture have made it extremely difficult in tracking down terrorist financial links. Another fact to be considered by law enforcement is that terrorist operations can be accomplished at a relatively low cost. A good example of this is the 2005 London train bombing cost $2,000, the 2004 Madrid mass transit bombing was $10,000-$15,000, the 2002 Bali nigh club bombing was $50,0001 and the 9/11 World Trade Center attack was $400,000-$500,0002 What methods are used to fiancé these operations? Charities. At once time they were the main source of operating capital along with donations from wealthy individuals according to the CFR 2002 Task Force Report. The 2004 report does state that Saudi Arabia has taken some steps to rectify this. In the Islamic culture there are numerous charities out there and we can not monitor all of them3.
