W. Bush sent American troops to the chaotic East African nation of Somalia. Their mission was to spearhead a U.N. force that would allow the regular movement of food to a starving population.  \nSomalia became yet another legacy for the Clinton administration. Efforts to establish a representative government there became a“nation-building” enterprise. In October 1993, American troops sent to arrest a recalcitrant warlord ran into unexpectedly strong resistance, losing an attack helicopter and suffering 18 deaths. The warlord was never arrested. Over the next several months, all American combat units were withdrawn.  \n1. On the map to the left, identify the African country where 18 U. S. soldiers were killed in October of 1993 .  \nFrom the standpoint of the administration, it seemed prudent enough simply to end a marginal, ill-advised commitment and concentrate on other priorities. It only became clear later that the Somalian warlord had been aided by a shadowy and  \nemerging organization that would become known as al-Qaida, headed by a fundamentalist Muslim named Osama bin Laden. A fanatical enemy of Western civilization, bin Laden reportedly felt confirmed in his belief that Americans would not fight when attacked.  \n2. Who was the leader of al-Qaida in 1993?  \n__________________________________  \n__________________________________  \nBy then the United States had already experienced an attack by Muslim extremists. In February 1993, a huge car bomb was exploded in an underground parking garage beneath oneof the twin towers of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. The blast killed seven people and injured nearly a thousand, but it failed to bring down the huge building with its thousands of workers. New York and federal authorities treated it as a criminal act, apprehended four of the plotters, and obtained life prison sentences for them. Subsequent plots to blow up traffic tunnels, public buildings, and even the United Nations were all discovered and dealt with in a similar fashion.  \nPossible foreign terrorism was nonetheless overshadowed by domestic terrorism, primarily the Oklahoma City bombing. The work of right-wing extremists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, it killed 166 and injured hundreds, a far greater toll than the 1993 Trade Center attack. But on June 25,  \nFree Educational Materials Online [www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nName:   Date:   Class:    \n1996, another huge bomb exploded at the Khobar Towers U.S. military housing complex in Saudi Arabia, killing 19 and wounding 515 . A federal grand jury indicted 13 Saudis and one Lebanese man for the attack, but Saudi Arabia ruled out any extraditions.  \n3. On the map above, identify the U.S. state where right-wing extremists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols bombed a federal building, killing 166 men, women, and children.  \nTwo years later, on August 7, 1998, powerful bombs exploding simultaneously destroyed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 301 people and injuring more than 5,000 . In retaliation Clinton ordered missile attacks on terrorist training camps run by bin Laden in Afghanistan, but they appear to have been deserted. He also ordered a missile strike to destroy a suspect chemical factory in Sudan, a country which earlier had given sanctuary tobin Laden.  \nOn October 12, 2000, suicide bombers rammed a speedboat into the U.S. Navy destroyer Cole, on a courtesy visit to Yemen. Heroic action by the crew kept the ship afloat, but 17 sailors were killed. Bin Laden had pretty  \nFree Educational Materials Online  \nclearly been behind the attacks in Saudi Arabia, Africa, and Yemen, but he was beyond reach unless the administration was prepared to invade Afghanistan to search for him.  \nThe Clinton administration was never willing to take such a step. It even shrank from the possibility of assassinating him if others might be kille","cbCaiqUBeh0hSo0N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqUBeh0hSo0N","pdf",118262,"English","# Intimations of Terrorism - Reading Questions\n## Map Identification Questions\n### October 1993 Somalia Kills\n### al-Qaida Leadership in 1993\n### U.S. State for Oklahoma City Bombing\n### Named Countries on the Africa and Arabian Peninsula Map","[{\"question\":\"Where were American troops sent near the close of George H.
