Note the quickening of pace... Once the cowards realized they could influence the weak through terror the proverbial Pandora's box was opened.
The only way to get the genie back in the bottle is to make them pay a high price in blood.

A good list, but by no means inclusive. For example, They left off the murder of our Ambassador to Afghanistan on Feb 14, 1979, which is also the same date that the Iranians overran our embassy in Tehran the first time.

"Came across this site which makes for some very interesting reading. Had no idea what has been going on all over the world."
I had forgotten that the Niarobi and the Daar el Sallam bombings occurred only a fortnight before the Real IRA bomb attack in Omagh, Tyrone.
It just shows how no one took terrorism seriously- even if it occurred in one's own country- in comparison to how we view it in the post September 11 world.
