Attacks by Category |Terroristic Incidents

One clue to tell a terrorist attack from a crime: terrorists often target police, firefighters and off-duty soldiers

People target soldiers and police officers and old ladies and Shia pilgrams in Israel, Saudi Arabia Pakistan, Philippines, India all the time with cars, buses and even bulldozers. Over there it's done by militants and terrorists. We don't have those in the United States or do we??

Nobody seems to have any idea or clue as to the cause or possible motive for these accidents or attacks, besides impairment or mental problems or simple accidents, certainly not terrorism.

When there is no cause or motive for an incident whose sole object appears to hurt somebody for no reason at all, terrorism should always be considered as the only explanation that makes sense. In Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan, police are regularly targeted by terrorists, not just criminals.

It was seen as the the first-ever insider attack by a female officer. Griffin was a former US military officer who was advising Afghan police. Nargis had been assigned to the gender and equality department of the police headquarters. Various theories of her motives were that she might have been an Iranian agent since she born in Tehran and had an Iranian passport.
