Two Week Overview This/Next Week the Future This Week the Interesting Facts for the Week Salty and Roselle were two guide dogs who were with their owners in the World Trade Center during the September 11 attacks in New York City. They each guided their owners out of the burning towers before they collapsed, feats which were later recognized when they were awarded the Dickin Medal by the British charity the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals. Roselle went on to be posthumously named American Hero Dog of the Year 2011 by American Humane, and has a book written about her. Neerja Bhanot was an Indian head flight attendant who died while saving passengers on Pan Am Flight 73 which had been hijacked by terrorists during a stopover in Karachi, Pakistan, on 5 September 1986, just two days before her 23rd birthday. Posthumously, she became the youngest recipient of India's highest peacetime gallantry, the Ashok Chakra Award, as well as several other accolades from the governments of Pakis tan and the United States. The Terrorist were targeting Americans, so Neerja gathered up all of the passports and hid them. 340 passengers escaped, but she was shot while helping passengers escape through the emergency exits. this week this/next week the future After School Detention We are on the downhill slope for April 5-10 Clayton getting students test-ready.

  • 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.

  • Shabana Azmi Confers Neerja Bhanot Award on Rashmi Anand by : INVC Team Published on : 20 Jul, 2014 03:44 PM IST
    Shabana Azmi confers Neerja Bhanot Award on Rashmi Anand By : INVC Team Published On : 20 Jul, 2014 03:44 PM IST INVC, Chandigarh, In a solemn and impressive ceremony held today at the auditorium of St Stephens School, Chandigarh, acclaimed actor Shabana Azmi conferred the prestigious Neerja Bhanot Award 2013 on Delhi based Rashmi Anand. The annual Neerja Bhanot Award was instituted in 1991 in the memory of the brave Senior Flight Purser, Neerja Bhanot, who saved hundreds of lives while sacrificing her own, during a Pan Am plane hijack at Karachi Airport in September 1986. The Award consists of Rs. 1.50 lakh, a Citation and a Trophy. Speaking on the occasion, Shabana Azmi said that the true courage and compassion shown by both Neerja and Rashmi are highly inspiring for all of us. Azmi raised a very important question : What is it that drives a person to give up everything, including her life, for someone else, unknown to her and basically a stranger till that moment in time? Citing examples, Azmi asked, “What would Neerja have been thinking of when she opened the door of the plane and, inspite of the bullets flying all round her and hand grenades exploding, she decided not to jump out and run away but instead do her duty and help the passengers escape? Or, why is Rashmi today spending time in dingy police stations and counseling women suffering from gender and domestic violence? What drives a person to do all this?” Azmi opined that this was a matter for deep research and it would be good if some University or State institution did this.

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.

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.
