terrorism

Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal and Australian counterinsurgency expert David Kilcullen have said the recent incident at the Capitol is a warning sign of a possible impending home-grown insurgency, the culmination of years, perhaps decades of increasing political and social tensions. We...

Last week Nicaraguan authorities arrested four men possibly connected to Islamic State.

The U.S. 'War on Terror' was never a war on terror! A terrorist walks - Luis Posada Carriles has boasted of bombing Havana hotels, yet American justice lets him go free (L.A. Times, Apr. 20, 2007)

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/11/23/prince-charles-syria-climate-change/76248500/ Earlier this week Bernie Sanders said there is a direct link between terrorism and climate change. This article has Prince Charles claiming a direct link between climate change and the war in...

There's a price to pay for supporting terrorism: It's hardly been a secret that the PA and PLO have supported terrorists all these years, and they were caught red-handed in this attack. Maybe enough of this and the Palestinians will act like the civilized country they claim to be and demand to...

This implicitly implies that you think that the government is spending less time on these areas than necessary, more time on terrorism than necessary, or that the whole operation is mostly wasted time. Let's discuss. First let's take lightening strikes. The government places many regulations on...

I'm curious if there is any terrorist attack that the wootards at DIF, Infowars, Godlikeproductions, cluesforum or any of the other CT forums actually think was the real deal. If not then I would love to know how we live in a planet with 6 billion people, lots of whom hate the USA, and yet no...

Sorry, I can't post links yet. You'll find it on the BBC news site. So five Islamic extremists turned up at an EDL rally with a nail bomb. Fortunately for the EDL it had finished early due to a lack of speakers. Said terrorists were discovered on their way home when stopped by police because...

Joey Lambardi purports to be a whistleblower who's been AWOL for several months. He purports to have once belonged to a special unit of the military called Combat Camera. June 1st a video was released to the internet and it's going viral. It purports to be jRg41D8SOq0 Joey claims to have no...

The phrase was coined by my knowledge by Gravy who seldom posts here anymore. I would say jihad apology is not the truthers goal or motivation but rather their effect. Truthers seem to believe there is no terrorist attack that was not a false flag operation or that terrorist organizations if...

From the Daily Fail: Poor doggies: However, if this story is true, why wasn't it reported at the time?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101029/ap_on_bi_ge/airports_suspicious_packages_23 Must give credit to President Obama on this one, so far his actions have been swift and decisive in dealing with a possible terrorist replay of the 1990's Operation Bojinka out of the Phillipines...

Every time I see the TSA in the news, they are implementing some offensive new security measure and angrying up my blood. So, in the interest of balancing out my own anti-TSA bias, can anyone share any stories wherein the TSA has saved the day? Has the TSA ever caught a mad bomber red-handed...

What I mean by this question is this: Why is it that the exclamation Allahu akbar, i. e. "God is great," so often used by Muslims committing atrocious acts? Apparently, as the planes were flying into the WTC and the Pentagon, the suicidal pilots chanted this. I also remember reading back in...

From the You Tube description: Running time: One hour, twenty-six minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMBQoqCbSMQ&feature=PlayList&p=93179B23996E4666&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=5 Truther knickers already in a twist over this one...

I notice a lot of truther types seem to think al-qaida and OBL are just boogie men concocted by the CIA to justify the War on Terror or at the very least give little credence to the idea that Islamic extremism is a serious threat to the West. This denial can be used to shift the blame to the...

After a long trial five Sydney men were today sentenced of between 23 and 28 years for conspiring to commit a terrorist act. http://www.theage.com.au/national/five-sydney-terrorists-jailed-20100215-o1fo.html Of course, it has not stopped their supporters playing the "discrimination against...

I have noticed that the Truthers are quick to bash the Jews, and just as quick to defend the Muslims- Why do truthers refuse to beleive that Muslim radicals could ever commit acts of terrorism? Yet they have no problem blaming it all on the Jews....

Ok I haven't been following the news much, I went down to the pub to grab a pint and lo and behold it turns out the country is upside down freaking out over two failed Terror attacks on airplanes. On the tail end of this I hear Joe Liberman is screetching about how we need to preemptively...

After the big terrorist scare of the underpants bomber, we are seeing once again a big review of airport security, and even more stringent passenger checks. Equally there are calls for an investigation as to why someone on a "watchlist" was able to carry out the attempted attack....... but...

It is true that Gitmo and US fighting against the Taliban, etc., provokes the enemy -- Al Quaeda, Iran, numerous other Islamofascist groups and states -- into wanting to kill Americans. But NOT fighting back ALSO provokes the enemy -- Al Quaeda, Iran, numerous other Islamofascist groups and...

As a European who has studied counter-terrorism tactics for more than two decades, I find the 'debate' over whether to grant terrorists the 'right' to a criminal trial to be rather peculiar. From a European perspective it appears to me rather obvious that the Obama administration is adopting...

Qaeda tells Germany to change government: monitors (AFP via Google) Which means (unless they are bluffing), they already have something in place all set up. I must admit, I didn't previously have any strong opinions about the upcoming German elections.

The one area where I held out some hope for the Obama administration (despite the wiretap backsliding pre-election) was in the area of the detainess in Guantanamo, etc. The annouced closure sounded good, but I was somewhat suspicious that the base would not actually get closed on the deadline...

Once again, Obama has the choice of doing it the way "human rights advocates" suggest or the Bush way, and he's chosen the correct course: I'll give Obama credit; he's much more of a pragmatist than I realized. Preventative detention seems like a solid tool for use in the war on terror, and I...

Survivor, Jacqui Putnam: asks: 'What else have we not been told?' ** Family members and survivors of the 7/7/05 London Bombings are demanding an "independent and impartial public inquiry" into the attacks. Echoing US government lies about pre-911 intelligence, the UK Home Secretary, Tony Blair...

I am just wondering whether serving in the military effects one's attitudes toward torture. I am a veteran and consider it a crime.
