Tankers, Niteclubs... connecting the targets

[Terrance]

On 23rd October 1983 the Hezbollah group blew up with a suicide attack
the barracks of the U.S. and French forces at Beirut, killing 241 U.S.
marines and 58                   French paratroopers.

These terrorist organizations draw no distinction between the countries
of the West.
They don't even recognize the nations states they live in. 

"Verily the party of God will be victorious." 

	--The Koran 

Also, these terror attacks are not reactions to current events. What is
happening in the UN amongst Western States is not what drives these
terror acts. They take years to plan.
