 FAMOUS TERRORIST ATTACKS
Air India Flight 182
The bombing of Air India Flight 182
is the largest mass killing in Canadian history,
the deadliest aviation accident in the history of
Air India and was the deadliest act of aviation
terrorism until the 11 September attacks in 2001.
The bombing of this flight coincided with the
Narita Airport bombing .
 2016 Karrada Bombing
On 3 July 2016, ISIL militants carried out coordinated bomb attacks in Baghdad that
killed 340 civilians and injured hundreds more. A few minutes after midnight local time, a
suicide truck-bomb targeted the mainly Shia district of Karrada, busy with late night shoppers
for Ramdan. A second roadside bomb was detonated in the suburb of Sha'ab, killing at least five.
 Beslan School Hostage Crisis
The Beslan school siege was a terrorist attack that
started on 1 September 2004, lasted three days,
involved the imprisonment of more than 1,100 people
as hostages (including 777 children) and ended with
the deaths of 333 people, 186 of them children, as well
as 31 of the attackers.[It is considered to be the
deadliest school shooting in history.
 26/11 Terror Attack
The worst terror attack ever suffered by India was on the fateful days of
November 2008 when for four days, 10 terrorists held the commercial
capital of India to ransom. The carnage started on the 26th when they
entered the country through sea and started a killing spree unlike
anything seen before. There was plenty of gunfire and a few bomb blasts
as well. The terrorists captured important places such as Nariman
House, Hotel Oberoi Trident and Hotel Taj. They also targeted other
crucial locations in Mumbai such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus,
Metro Cinema, Leopold Café, the office of Times of India, and Cama
Hospital – all important places in the cityscape. Incidentally, most of
these places were frequented by foreigners who were also on the radar of
the terrorists.
 Mumbai Serial Bomb Blasts
From the looks of it, Mumbai has always been high
on the wish list of criminal elements such as gangsters
and terrorists. On 12th March 1993, the city was rocked
by a series of bomb blasts. The tremors of the blast
could be felt around India. This planned sequence
of blasts is still regarded as the deadliest of its
brethren
in India. Dawood Ibrahim, who ran the international
syndicate of organized crime named D-Company,
conducted the attacks.
 Jaipur Blasts

On 13th May 2008, Jaipur was hit by a sequence of nine blasts that took place in 15 minutes. The authorities were
able to find the 10th bomb and disarmed it. This was an eye-opener of sorts since this city never seemed to be
on the terror radar before this. Jaipur also happens to be one of the major tourist attractions in the country.
In fact, one bomb exploded in the vicinity of the Hawa Mahal.

 MASS MEDIA

manipulation and exploitation of the
