 Terrorist Attacks has been more dangerous and has increased over the last years. Also, many attacks have been dirty bombs and hijacks. Death rates are increasing and attacks are becoming more lethal. Terrorist Attacks are basically the cause of belief in many ways. However, terrorist threatens the U.S with many dirty bombs and hijacks. [|On February 4, 1974] a terrorist planted a bomb on a coach bus and killed nine soldiers and three civilians. [|On February 21, 1931] a terrorist hijacked a plane in Arequipa, Peru. [|On February 26, 2013] a family was kidnapped by a terrorist in West Africa. The reason of terrorist attacks is to gain respect in a terrorist mind.   The M62 Coach bombing made civilians scared to take coach buses and feel like another attack like that can happen anytime. The way the terrorist did the bombing was by putting the bomb in a luggage and in the locker on the bus with nobody knowing. According to [|http://news.bbc.co.uk] that after the bombing and after the people died the murderer was sentenced 18 years in prison. In 1996 “The Jaffa Road Bus Bombing” got bombed by two terrorists. According to [|worldhistoryproject.org] in Israel and killed 45 people using traveling explosives such as c4s, betty’s, mines, and claymores. These two dirty bombings are very deadly and dangerous and kill many people in close range. Therefore, while the U.S tries to stop terrorist from the threats that they are sending us. The terrorists are only going to bomb us more with more impact than the last.



 Terrorist Attacks also happens because of the people they are supposed to target. Usually in Pakistan the leader over there sends its people to kill people in the United States. On February 21, 1931 Arequipa, Peru. The name of the hijacker was Byron Rickards. The hijacker refused to take the passengers know where. On September 11, 2001 a plane was hijacked by the official pilot and crashed in to the twin towers. People say that the plane was hijacked which was true. The question really is how the Terrorist get through the metal detectors in the airport if the plane was hijacked. Also, even though the plane was hijacked why couldn’t the airport see that the plane was going somewhere else on the radar.

 In West Africa on February 26, 2013 a fa mily was kidnapped. The week before the kidnapping in Northern Cameroon the French officials called kidnapping a growth in West Africa. In a picture of a family there are a wife and a husband and French people on the mat in front and in back of people. The wife was given a black burqa to wear which is a religious Islamic tradition to cover their faces in public while she grabbing her husband with her brother in law and 4 children under the age of twelve frightened while held hostage by the terrorist in West Africa. Since this kidnapping the U.S. Africa Command said that he believes that there are terror groups in Nigeria, Mali, and elsewhere in northern Africa. According to [|newyorker.com] it says that they are working together and receiving training from Al Qaeda. Which is a militant organization founded Osama Bin Laden by in the Islamic Maghreb.

On March 29th, 2012 a terrorist hijacked a plane to France and frightened many people. On February 26, 2013 a family got kidnapped in West Africa.
