Terror Attacks of the Day

[longknife]

I am not trying to belittle so horrible an attack on Americans in Boston, but it WAS NOT the only such attack. They go on daily around the world and are largely ignored by the main street media. So, as of today, whenever I find a report of a terrorist attack elsewhere, I'll report it here. And, I'm certain those victim's family, friends, and acquaintances suffer just as much as those of the Boston Attack!

Here is today's:

Sixteen injured in India Bangalore blast

Sixteen people, including eight policemen, have been injured in an explosion near the office of a political party in the southern Indian city of Bangalore, police have said.

U.S. was warned of terror attacks
Source: Look for trail through Sri Lanka, Bangladesh

Although it is not known yet who is responsible for Monday’s heinous bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three and injured more than 100 people, a source within Iranian intelligence services told WND the Islamic regime was behind them and to look for trails through Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

The source said the bombs were planted near the end of the race so that the horrific images of the blasts would be captured by all the media there and be replayed over and over throughout the world.

A senior commander of the Islamic regime had warned less than two months ago that terrorism was coming to America.

US drones kill 5 'militants' in South Waziristan strike

By Bill RoggioApril 17, 2013

The US killed five "militants" in a drone strike today in an area of Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of South Waziristan. The strike is the second reported by the US in Pakistan in the past four days.

The CIA-operated, remotely piloted Predators or the more deadly Reapers fired a pair of missiles at what was described by AFP as "a base of the TTP," or the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan. Five "militants" were killed in the strike and two more were wounded, Pakistani intelligence officials said. The Taliban "base," which was located in the village of Sararogha, was leveled in the airstrike.

No senior al Qaeda or Taliban commanders or operatives are reported to have been killed in the attack.

There Has Been 172 ‘IED’ Incidents In The U.S. In The Last 6 Months
Bombs Frequent In U.S.; 172 ‘IED’ Incidents In Last 6 Months, By 1 Count -- McClatchy News

WASHINGTON — The two explosions that killed three people and wounded more than 170 Monday in Boston were dramatic, the deadliest bombing in the United States since April 19, 1995, when a truck loaded with fertilizer blew up outside the federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168. But the method of attack wasn’t particularly surprising to anti-terrorism experts: a homemade bomb that officials refer to as an IED, or improvised explosive device.

In fact, in the last six months, there have been 172 IEDs reported in the United States, according to a government count that an official revealed Tuesday in answer to questions about U.S. preparedness. The official shared the figures, which were gathered before Monday’s explosion, only on the condition that neither the official nor the official’s office be identified.

War News Editor's Comment: This is an astounding number. The skeptic in me says "no way" .... but when I did a brief Google search I surprisingly came up with a number of such incidents .... albeit most were small IEDs that were put together in a garage taht resulted in an explosion. But what is even more frightening .... it appears that the trend for this type of activity (for the U.S.) is increasing .... and the IEDs are getting bigger.

172? Where's the press on this?

Alawite army bases in capital become secret death prisons
Publication time: 15 April 2013, 13:13
Assad's key military unit in charge of protecting Damascus is running secret prisons holding hundreds of suspected regime opponents.

The illegal Assad's regime's 4th Division runs detention centers in its bases in and around Damascus. The division is commanded by Maher Assad, the tyrant's younger brother. It is considered a pillar of loyalist forces and is charged with defending the capital, the seat of Assad's power.

Muslims are held in small crowded cells and beaten by Alawite guards.

Bashar el-Ahmed, a 31-year-old schoolteacher, said he was taken blindfolded to the detention center and realized after he was arrived that he was underground. He said guards started beating him with batons, electric prods and cables the moment he arrived.

Thousands of opposition members, protesters and their families were detained since the revolution against Assad's rule started in March 2011.

None of the former detainees were able to give the exact location of the secret prison because they had been blindfolded during transfer there from an intelligence branch. They also said they had been held in small cells crammed with dozens of other prisoners.
