It's almost 11 September and I am immediately reminded of 9/11, the dark spot in 2001, the day Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners and intentionally crashed two of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Terrorists, I suppose have existed even before we realise it. Just before the first World War, for example, General "Black Jack" Pershing. the Military Governor of Moro Province, Philippines, dealt with 50 terrorists who launched a number of terrorist attacks against the United States. The Internet rumour had it that 49 of the 50 terrorists were tied to posts execution style and shot with bullets that were smeared with pig's blood. The dead were then dumped into a big hole and covered with pig blood, entrails, etc. Both incidents, I suppose brought sufferings but while the latter was just an Internet rumour, the former had been recorded for all too see. It's a wonder so few people could bring so much damage and human sufferings.
