I chose bombing of the Murrah builging. Well this attack took place on April 19, 1995 at oklahoma city. An office complex in downtown Oklahoma City, was bombed. Until the September 11, 2001 attacks, it was the deadliest act of terrorism on United Stated. In this attack were killed 168 people and more than 800 people injured.A little time after the explosion Oklahoma state trooper Charlie Hanger stopped Timothy McVeigh of 26 years old, for driving without a license and for unlawfully carrying a weapon, and him was arrested for that. Within days after the bombing, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were both arrested for their roles in the bombing.
Mcveigh was executed by lethal injection on June 11, 2001 and Nichols was sentenced to life in prision, and a third conspirator Michael Fortier who testified against McVeigh and Nichols was sentenced to 12 years in prision for failing to warn the U.S goverment.
On April 19, 2000, the Oklahoma City National Memorial was dedicated on the site of the Murrah Federal Building to commemorate the victims of the bombing and annual remembrance services are held at the time of the explosion.
Although it is a really recent date, I have no idea about this and for an unknown reason I am not surprised. I mean, this kind of stuff is almost normal in the US.
ResponderEliminarI believe this country has payed to little attention to what they are teaching to their children, refering to violence.
This country is, in my opinion, the most agresive of all. All of their problems are soluted with wars and agressions.
well, I didn't knew about this act of terrorism either.. I just can't believe how people dare to do this.. it's just senseless and stupid. A reason for this can be that other countries are jeallous of US? It's true that US want to resolve all their problems with agressions, but think of why of this..
ResponderEliminarI didn't knew about this attack and of course it is super bad! I mean, everything about terrorism is just horrifying. I can't elieve people actually believe that this is the only way.
