Many people believe that terrorism only gets as bad as 9/11. Truth is, terrorism impacts more than just our country of America. An Indian city of Mumbai was attacked on September 26th 2008. A man under US citizenship was actually a terrorist seeking US information, looking for new ways to take down America. He had gone through 3 extra GI training and had changed his name multiple times. He had planned out and contacted many others to help him in his plans. Well calculated and planned out they attacked a Jewish community center, a hotel, and a train station. 156 people lost their lives, 400 injures, 250 walked free through the attacks during the 60 hours of the event. This was all planned out by a man, a double spy. Unfortunately, hate is a strong feeling and extremist take it too this limit of mass killing sprees. Their isn't much we can do about terrorism, besides realizing the fact that this is wrong.
