Chapter 6: Genealogy of Islamic terrorism (9)

 

154 The world trembled with the September 11 attacks (1/4)

 

The 21st century began with "September 11 attacks". Islamic terrorism frequently took place in the last decade of the 20th century. But the September 11 attacks could not be compared with any of previous ones about the scale and influence given to the world.

 

There were many terror incidents during the last decade of 20th century. In 1993 eight people died and more than 1,000 injured by the bombing of New York World Trade Center Building. Terrorists attacked on tourists in Luxor of Egypt in 1998. The United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed simultaneously in 1998. In September 1999 two terror attacks in Moscow resulted in more than 200 death.
