Terrorist incidents
One of the most spectacular terrorist incidents in U.S. history was the bombing of the World Trade Centre in New York in 1993 by Islamic radicals. This incident aroused anxiety about the threat posed by foreign residents from nations hostile to the United States. Six people died in the bomb, which caused an estimated $600 million in property and other economic damage. Trials that followed sentenced six people of carrying out the attack.
In addition to foreign-sponsored terrorism, the United States has an abundant history of domestic terrorism. Early in the 20th century, labour leaders such as William Dudley openly supported a philosophy of revolutionary violence.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, during the latter stages of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, some terrorist groups bombed buildings on university campuses throughout the country and at corporation headquarters and government buildings in New York City.
Between 1978 and 1995, a terrorist known as the Unabomber planted or mailed homemade bombs that killed 3 people and wounded 23 others in 16 separate incidents throughout the United States. The Unabomber, who claimed an agreement with radical environmentalists and others opposed to the effects of industrialization and technology, targeted university professors, corporate executives, and computer merchants.
In April 1996 federal agents arrested Theodore Kaczynski, a suspect they thought to be the Unabomber. Kaczynski, a Harvard-educated former math professor, admitted his guilty to 13 federal charges in 1998 in exchange for agreement that prosecutors would not request the death penalty during sentencing. The court sentenced Kazynski to four life terms plus 30 years and ordered him to pay $15 million in compensation.
In April 1995 a truck bomb exploded in front of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring more than 500, making it one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in United States history. Federal agents arrested two men McVeigh and Nichols, who belonged to an extremist group advocating resistance to national laws and political institutions.
In June 1997 McVeigh was found guilty of murder in connection with the bombing and sentenced to death. Later in the year Nichols was convicted of the less severe charges of manslaughter and conspiracy, and he was sentenced to life in prison in June 1998. McVeigh was executed in 2001.
