attacks on 18th of September 2001, this
brutal attack happened but caused a shock
after various weeks. This attack was not by
missiles or bombs but by letters containing
anthrax spores were mailed to different well
positioned officers, caused death of 5
innocent people and infected 17 others
people. It is one of the most complicated
cases in the history of America to be
handled even by FBI officers. The Government
officers after this terrific incident got
scared and took high potency antibiotics and
raised the security.

5. World Trade Centre Bombing Of 1993

5. World Trade Centre Bombing Of 1993
 This worst terrorist attack of bombing of
World Trade Centre occurred before the 9/11
on 26th of February, 1993 and was not
completely successful but caused huge damage
to the buildings. In this attack a truck
bomb was exploded below the North Tower of
the World Trade Centre of New York. It was
planned to knock down the both twin towers
and to kill thousands of the people but the
terrorists missed the task as they were
failed to destroy the twin towers.7 people
were died in this attack while 1,042 people
were injured. It was an attack to demolish
the backbone of US.

4. Bombing Of The Wall Street
 The bombing of the Wall Street occurred on
16th of September, 1920, around 12:00 pm
when a horse- drawn wagon containing 100
pounds of dynamite was exploded by a timer-set
detonation and shook the financial
sector of the New York. This bombing caused
the death of 38 people and 143 people
seriously got injured. The culprits behind
this act were not exactly traced but it was
suspected that the Galleanists were the
master minds behind this brutal attack,
although not announced officially. This
bombing caused a property damage of more
than $2 million and demolished most of the
interior spaces of the Morgan building.

3. Mumbai Attacks Of 2008
 The most weird and worst terrorist attacks in the
history of India are Mumbai attacks of 2008. On
26th of November, 2008, the terrorist targeted
the most popular and royal Hotel Taj Mahal that
is located in the premises of Gate way of India.
This attack included shootings, bombings, hostage
crisis and siege. It was a 64 hours long war
between the terrorists and the military forces,
continuously bombardment from the both sides. On
this sad day there were 10 attacks on the several
places in Mumbai but the main focus was the
hotel. This attack took away the lives of
approximately 166 people including 10 attackers
and injured more than 600 people.

2. Bombing Of Oklahoma City
 The Bombing of Oklahoma City was a domestic bomb
terrorist attack on 19th of April, 1995, on the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. It would
remain the most demolishing terrorist act in the
United States before 9/11 attack and therefore
the second most deadly attack on American
territory. This brutal bombing attack killed
almost 168 people and more than 680 people
injured. This blast destroyed 324 buildings,
burned 86 cars, and crushed glass of almost 258
nearby buildings, therefore causing a huge
damage of approximately $652 million. The
terrorist Timothy McVeigh who was the
mastermind of this attack was imprisoned and was
hanged to death after 6 years.

September, 2001 when the terrorists completely
destroyed the World Trade Center by hi-jacking
two planes and then colliding and crashing them
into the World Trade Center building. According
to the official reports 8,900 people were injured
and 2,993 people were died in this deadly attack.
It was a well planned tricky attack that raised
questions against the intelligence power and
security of the nation. The mastermind behind
this cruel attack was Al Qaeda and its leader

Top 6 Terrorist Group
List of SIX (6)
most notorious
terrorist groups.

6. Kurdistan Worker’s Party:

6. Kurdistan Worker’s Party:
Best known as PKK, this group was
established on November 27, 1978 in
Turkey and since then it has been
fighting for the sake of an
independent Kurdish state. Face of
an international terror, PKK’s
working region constitutes Turkey,
Iran, Syria and Iraq and it is also
enlisted by a number of counter-terrorism
agencies as
a deadly international organization.

5. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan:
Located in the Federally Administered
Tribal Areas along the Afghan border in
Pakistan, this terrorist organization
comprises several Islamist militant
groups. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (also
called the Pakistani Taliban), was
established in December, 2007, by
Baitullah Mehsud, a notorious Pakistani
militant who finally died on August 23,
2009. Pakistani Taliban, however, targets
elements of Pakistani state, but according
to several intelligence agencies, top
cities of the United States are conceived
as its main target.

4. Hezbollah:
Backed up by Iran and Syria, this
Lebanon based terrorist group has
emerged from the Lebanese civil war
of 1982 and is considered as the
biggest foe of Israel and Sunni Arab
countries. According to a report of
Central Intelligence Agency, this
organization covers the 41 percent
of Lebanese population and is
involved in
multiple social activities.

3. Taliban:
Derived from the word “students”,
Taliban is well known for beastly
governing the Afghanistan from 1996
to 2001 and its deadly
guerrilla war against the NATO
including the governments of
Pakistan and Afghanistan. This
terrorist group was founded by
Pashtun tribes with the significant
support from some Islamic countries
such as Arabs, Chechens, Uzbeks,
Punjabis and Tajiks.

2. Hamas:
Acronym for “Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-
Islamia”, HAMAS is a socio-political
terrorist group of Palestine which
was founded in 1987 due to an
offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
This organization was established
with the aim of Jihad and to release
Palestine from Israeli subjugation.
Known for its daredevil suicide
bombers, this terrorist group is
significantly supported by Hezbollah
to assassinate Israeli civilians and
defense officers.

1. Al-Qaeda:
The biggest “brand name” between all
terrorist groups across the world! This
extremist Islamic group was established
in 1989 by Osama Bin Laden, the great
grandfather of all terrorists and
a mysterious figure dodging the
worldwide intelligence agencies after
the September 11 attacks. Notorious for
its integrated network and
powerful strategies, Al-Qaeda
constitutes thousand of individuals who
have accomplished
proper military training.

Richest Terrorist Group
1. Taliban
 Taliban nets between $70 and $400 million from drug
activity (of which at least $15 to $25 million is
collected as ushr, Islam’s 10 percent tax on
harvests) annually. In addition, the Taliban
collects an estimated $150 to $200 million per year
in zakat and sadaqa donations, mostly from the Arab
nations of the Persian Gulf. These figures exclude
extensive Taliban revenues from ransoms, extortion,
and improperly diverted money from Western aid,
U.N. contributions, defense contractors, and the
Afghanistan government itself. My own estimate
would place that subtotal of an additional $50
million per year.
 Splitting the difference for the estimated range of
revenues, that would bring the Taliban’s total
budget to an estimate of approximately $560 million
annually.

2. Hezbollah
 Rachel Ehrenfeld’s Funding
Evil documented that Hezbollah’s
annual operating budget is between
$200 and $500 million. Iran
provides at least $120 million of
that, with the rest coming
from khums, drug trafficking, and
other criminal activity.

3. FARC
 Columbia’s Marxist guerrillas, the
FARC, enjoy annual revenues that
range from estimates of $80 to
$350 million.

4. Hamas
 For 2010, Gaza’s budget adopted by
Hamas was $540 million, but that’s a
larger amount than Hamas’s own
budget. The Council on Foreign
Relations lists Hamas’s budget as $70
million. However, the recent news that
Iran is cutting or ending its aid to
Hamas which would substantially
diminish Hamas’s treasury. Hamas
receives significant funding through
charitable front groups and from Saudi
Arabia.

5. Al Shabaab
 A recent report from the
U.N. revealed that al-Shabaab’s
revenues are between $70 and
$100 million per year, propelling
it into the top tier of global
jihadist funding.
