Accepted Answer

Domestic terrorism is carried out by individuals who are citizens or residents of the country where the attack takes place. In contrast, foreign terrorism involves individuals or groups who are not citizens or residents of the country they attack. Organized terrorism refers to attacks carried out by well-coordinated and well-funded groups, regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign. None of the above is not a viable answer.

Question 2

What is the most common form of terrorism in the United States?&#10;A) Domestic terrorism&#10;B) Foreign terrorism&#10;C) Organized terrorism&#10;D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Domestic terrorism, which is carried out by individuals or groups based and operating within the United States, is the most common form of terrorism in the United States. Examples include the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the 2017 Charlottesville car attack. While foreign terrorism also poses a threat, it is less common in the United States. Organized terrorism refers to acts of terrorism carried out by organized groups, regardless of their location or origin, and is not a separate category from domestic or foreign terrorism. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Domestic terrorism.

Prior to this attack, much of the focus was on international terrorism. The Boston Marathon bombings in 2013 and the World Trade Center bombings of 1993 were also significant acts of terrorism, but they did not have the same impact on public perception and awareness of domestic terrorism as the Oklahoma City bombing.
