The Name all terrorist attacks against the U.S. since 1990 game

[MikeMike]

this is NOT a political thread, nor a news thread. keep it simple.

name terrorist attacks that were against the U.S.(not in a country at war) they do not have to be on U.S. soil.

WTC
9/11
Oklahoma City
DC Sniper
The Ohio sniper dude, forgot what route he was on.
U.S. Embasy
U.S.S Cole

what else am i forgetting?

and yes there are 3 on there that you might not think are terrorist attacks, but a terrorist attack is defined as something so as to create terror among the public and they did just that.

They didn't have one... That the various investigators and interrogators have been able to determine thus far.

Well, there were 3 in one day. Kenya is the only one I can remember.

1993...March, I believe.


And, there were two U.S. embassies in Africa that were attacked in 1998.

There's also the 1996 Khobar Towers attack and the 1983 Marine barracks attack in Beirut.

No, the WTC suffered an "Attempted" bombing in the early 90's as well. They succeeded, but didn't bring the building down as planned IIRC

he would sit along the side of a highway, and snipe at moving vehicles, i believe he had 6 injured or something like that. it was in southern ohio. route 70 or something like that.

he was found in vegas, a relative rated him out

 

[oogabooga]

was there a successful bombing at the 96 olympics? i rmeember seeing news, but i thought the guy got caught before he could blow up anything.

 

[nageov3t]

another question... what makes something qualify as a terrorist attack?

 

[TonyG]

What about the guy who was blowing things up around the U.S. to try and create a giant smiley face?

i threw something in the bottom, its sorta plain, but basically something that worries parts of the nation, or world. or to put fear in the govt.

basically serial murderers (son of sam) could be counted.

Killing/maiming/general mayhem or attempted killing/maiming/general mayhem with the intent (or effect) of causing mass panic and making national news.

I think that's not what he's talking about. 😉 But I would consider it a terrorist attack.
