Judaism > ABCHS Timeline of Terrorism

An Introduction from the American College of Forensic Examiners Institute (ACFEI) Various forms of terrorism have existed throughout history, but never before have terrorist organizations posed more of a grave and looming threat to our civilization. The attacks carried out against our nation on September 11, 2001, were a shocking and tragic wake-up call to all Americans that our nation is not immune to terrorism, but rather is a major target for those who seek to destroy freedom, democracy, and our very way of life. Although terrorist groups are based all across the globe, today?s greatest threats stem from terrorist groups that originated in or have ties to the Middle East. To understand the terrorist mind-set that has evolved from the Middle East region, we must first examine the historical background that set the stage for the events that would unfold over several generations, leading to much of the terrorist activity occurring in our world today. Our goal in developing this historical overview of incidents related to Middle East-based terrorism is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the background behind the majority of modern-day terrorist activities. This timeline presents historical vents occurring from biblical times to modern day, examining all facets related to Middle East-based terrorism, including terrorist plots that were uncovered and thwarted, the costs and financial aspects of terrorism, unexplained events that are suspected to have been related to terrorism, and actual terrorist attacks that were carried out, often with tragic and devastating results. This Timeline of Terrorism is brought to you by Dr. Robert O?Block, founder of ACFEI, who would like to extend sincere gratitude to the many individuals who contributed their time and expertise to compiling and reviewing this historic project, including several CHS members and ACFEI staff members. This timeline raises controversial issues, but it also reveals troubling-but-true facts about the terror-related trends that have evolved from the Middle East region. Our goal in presenting this information to you is to provide you with a complete understanding of the events that have led to the formation and proliferation of terrorist organizations that threaten not only our nation, but all nations across the globe. This understanding is vital to our ultimate security, because until we fully understand the enemies that we face, we will never be able to defeat them.
