And to even out the one vs. many terrorist acts, off the top of my head:

- Bombing at 1996 Olympics (does no one remember poor Richard Jewel? We should not forget, as he is the example we must remember when jumping to conclusions about guilt)

- Multiple bombings of abortion clinics (according to the ATF, 169 bombings or arsons of abortion clinics since 1982)*)

- Bombing of lesbian nightclub

- Bosnia, 1992-Present (repeat as necessary)

- Northern Ireland, 1917-Present (repeat as necessary - latest action: last week somebody drove an earthmover through a Catholic pub in Belfast. While much of the terrorist activity done by both sides of the NI conflict is almost comical in its inefficiency, the mid to late 90s saw a remarkable rise in big bombs on big targets. The Canary Wharf bombing was huge, as was the bombing of Manchester's city center.)

* The ATF's website is looking kind of sad these days, as though it's not getting the kind of support under this administration as it once was. Most of the information about big ATF activities seems to come from 1995-2000. Campaign promise fulfilled.
