The CIA released odd stories recently basically showing that its just violence and that terrorism as a word does not exist. It made me realize that it got quite the use after 2001 simply because whatever plans just in Washington DC that had issues back then in the 1990s and 2000 were pushed through using that magic word.

Made me realize the nerdy dudes on here or even in real life are more manly than the people who use that terror word. That includes the new generation of nerdy guys I see around nowadays. Yeah... its that pathetic.

"Terrorist attack against the Cuban embassy in the United States. The Cuban Embassy staff have not been injured," the embassy said in a statement.

Suicide bombing near Pakistan mosque kills at least 54 people

A suicide bomber has killed at least 54 people who were gathering for a parade near a mosque to mark the birthday of the prophet Muhammad in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province.

Local officials said hundreds of people had gathered at a mosque in Mastung for an Eid-e-Milad Un Nabiprocession and were leaving the building when the bomber struck. Muslims hold rallies and distribute free meals to people on the occasion, which is also a public holiday.

Celebration of the prophet’s birthday is accepted by the majority of Muslims in Pakistan, but certain denominations view it as an unwarranted innovation. According to one official, however, a senior police officer killed in the attack may have been the target.
...
Hours after the bombing, there was another explosion at a mosque on the premises of a police station in Hangu, a district in the north-west province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. An official told Al Jazeera at least five people had been killed. The mosque’s roof collapsed in the blast, the local broadcaster Geo News reported, adding that about 30 to 40 people were trapped under the rubble.
