Terrorism

Usually, terrorism is committed to intimidate a group or committee etc. Often a bomb is set in a hotel or house etc. Another common terrorist attack is the suicidal attack. That is when for example somebody ties a bomb around their waste and flies in a plane or goes on a train and waits for the bomb to blow up. The most common reasons for a terrorist attack are religious or political reasons, for independence from a bigger nation, to occupy land or the desire to stop certain cultural practices. To find more information on suicide bombing, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_attack. One of the worst terrorist attacks was the 9/11, when the group of terrorists named Al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes, of which two crashed in the World Trade Center, which ended up crumbling, and one in the Pentagon in Washington DC. The third was probably meant to destroy something in Washington but crashed on the way.
