Al Qaeda is a international terrist network led by Usama Bin Laden. Al Queda was established in 1988. This network is used to help with finance, recruit, transport and train thousands of fighters from dozens of countries to be part of an Afghan resistance to defeat the Soviet Union. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/al-qaida.htm
ReplyDeleteI think that Seans information is accurate because he got it off the same website as i did. I found that the IRa was formed in 1969 and is dedicated to removing British troops from Northern Ireland and uniting IReland as a whole. The IRA has several hundred members involved and perform activites such as bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, extortion, and robberies. The IRA operates in Northern Ireland, Irish Republic, Great Britain, and Europe.

ah yes al queda every one knows him so well for the 9/11 planning it's just sick that someone would do that just for religion.
ReplyDeleteAl Qaeda is a terrorist group led by Usama Bin Laden. Many of their tactics as terrorists include assassinations, bombings, hijacking, kidnaping, and suicide attacks.One of their plans was to kill Bill Clinton on his trips to the Phillipines but it obviously hasnt happened.

ReplyDeleteAl-Qaeda is a very dangerous grouop of terrorists and the leader is Osama bin Laden
they also have thier on origins recruiting muslims everyday.
The Time reporters say that the Tamil Tigers are the most organized, effective, and brutal terrorist's. They created the suicide vest, and the only terrorist group who has assasinated 2 world leaders. Groups like this makes me worry for the future.
ReplyDeletewell i don't know what to say some where somonje else probaly has the same concern. ya know
ReplyDeleteI researched the al-qaida on globalsecurity.org. I learned the grou was started by Bin Laden around 1988. They're primary goal seems to be religion and they're at war to get all the non-muslim people out of the muslim countries and spread their religon. They also said one of their goals was to kill U.S citizens. I'm not sure who the author of this site was but the information seems to be accurate but of course it is bias since they don't have the al-quaida the website was made 2000-2010
ReplyDeleteEstablished in 1964 as the military wing of the Colombian Communist Party, the FARC is Colombia’s oldest, largest, most capable, and best-equipped Marxist insurgency. It has Approximately 9,000 to 12,000 armed combatants and several thousand more supporters, mostly in rural areas.

Brian's website is reliable because it is the same site that i got my infromation from
ReplyDeleteOne comment is about Rachels it's very interesting about how the Al-Quaida primary goal was on religion. The Tamil Tigers was a group of terrist who where mainly located in northern Sri Lanka. They invented the suicide vest and, according to the FBI, are the only terrorist group to have assassinated two world leaders. There were known for recruting child Soliders

....Al quaeda.What kind of sick religion preaches to its followers to kill innocent people?! Those in the Al Quaeda terrorist group claim that they were following their religion during 9/11....but really....words can not describe how horrible and messed-upp that is =(
ReplyDeleteHezbollah means "party of god". This is a Lebanese organization where several Shiite Militants oppose the west and Israel and seeks to create in Lebanon a Muslim fundamentalist state modeled on Iran. Its primary mission is to destroy the state of Israel and, in the process, to murder as many Jews as possible.

This website seems reliable to me
ouch now that's harsh
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lacey!It is just wrong! Al Qaeda's leader is Bin Laden..which is a mistake. They were so furious with the US gov't allowed troops to be stations in Saudi Arabia because it interferred with Islam.

Al Qaeda is a radical Muslim organization lead by Usama Bin Laden. Bin Laden is part of a billionare company that finances Al Qaeda's operations. They believe in the idea of killing Americans because we threaten the Islaamic religion
ReplyDeleteThe Tamil Tigers are the first group that invented and ever used the suicide vest and according to the FBI is the only terrrorist group that has killed two world leaders.http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1869501,00.html Getty and is reliable i would never expect what Mike said to be true i thought Columbias terrorism was by independents not a group
ReplyDeleteAbu Sayyaf, meaning "bearer of the sword", or "father of the swordsman" is a small group of several hundred muslim radicals, that want to establish an Iranian-style Islamic state. They are also trying to expel christans from the Basilan Isaland. This group was established in late 1980's. This group also has longstanding ties with other islamic fundementalist groups, including al queda.

ReplyDeleteThe Irish Republican Army was created in 1969 to remove British Forces from Northern Ireland and unify Ireland under one state. A cease fire occurred in 1997 and peace arrangements were reached by some in 1998. Activities that they practiced included bombings and assassinations.

It's weird how Al-Qaeda's main focus was religion, I thought they wanted to take over the world or something. They pretty much do though, because they tell their followers to kill innocent people. That's f*&%ed up!
ReplyDeleteAnd like kyle said thats weird how the tamil tigers, terrorist group has killed two world leaders!!!
