Produktbeschreibung

Twelve Important Titles Detailing Some of the Most Horrifying Terrorist Attacks Around the World Terrorism hit home for most Americans on September 11, 2001, but teens may be surprised to learn that acts of terrorism have ravaged the world for years. This dramatic series reports the details of several of modern history's most horrifying terrorist acts, and includes current theories on why individuals or groups resort to terrorism. Each book describes a terrorist act in full detail, and contains information on post-attack investigations and trials and the attack's effect on history. In 1995, a car bomb explosion outside a U.S. training facility in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killed many, including five Americans. Seven months later, a truck bomb was detonated at Khobar Towers, an air base in Saudi Arabia, injuring American, French, Saudi, and British soldiers and civilians and killing nineteen Americans. This book tells the story of the terrorist attack at Khobar Towers by explaining Saudi Arabia: its peoples, history, religions, government, and interests.
