Worst Terrorist Attacks In World History( In Pictures ) by chloedogie(m): 5:05pm On Mar 15, 2018
The question that comes to mind is ''will the world ever know peace again''? Over the years, terrorists have claimed hundreds of innocent lives for their selfish and immoral interests in the worst violent crimes ever. In modern times, terror continues to reign in our streets every day. However, terror upon tragedy best described from these terrorist attacks that struck streets, buildings, fields, towns, and any other place that had people living or doing business. From the streets and skyscrapers of New York to the war-trenched cities of Iraq, to Nairobi and Angola in Africa, and across Iran and the Persian Gulf, terrorists are everywhere. Here are the four worst terrorists’ attacks in history. These attacks, either bombing, buildings set ablaze, plane crashes or suicide bombers claimed many lives.

And the truth is all the evil master-minders were born innocently looking like the kids below but later grew to be monsters. They were not killed growing up but decided to kill others
