Record the following notes on the Right Side of your notebook
Fighting Terrorism: Among all the challenges facing the U.S. in the post-Cold War era, one of the most critical is fighting terrorism. Groups emerged to carry out terrorist acts in previously unaffected parts of the world, including the U.S. A wave of terrorist attacks took place during Clinton’s presidency: 1993 bombing of World Trade Center in NYC, 1998 bombing of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, 2000 attack of USS Cole, a Navy destroyer off of the coast of Yemen. September 11, 2001 (George W Bush’s first year in office) Terrorists hijacked four planes: two slammed into Twin Towers of NY’s World Trade Center causing both towers to collapse, the third hit the Pentagon just outside of Wash DC, the fourth plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers fought with the hijackers.
