The 15:17 to Paris
Author: Anthony Sadler
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1610397347
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
An ISIS terrorist planned to kill more than 500 people. He would have succeeded except for three American friends who refused to give in to fear. On August 21, 2015, Ayoub El-Khazzani boarded train #9364 in Brussels, bound for Paris. There could be no doubt about his mission: he had an AK-47, a pistol, a box cutter, and enough ammunition to obliterate every passenger on board. Slipping into the bathroom in secret, he armed his weapons. Another major ISIS attack was about to begin. Khazzani wasn't expecting Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone. Stone was a martial arts enthusiast and airman first class in the US Air Force, Skarlatos was a member of the Oregon National Guard, and all three were fearless. But their decision-to charge the gunman, then overpower him even as he turned first his gun, then his knife, on Stone-depended on a lifetime of loyalty, support, and faith. Their friendship was forged as they came of age together in California: going to church, playing paintball, teaching each other to swear, and sticking together when they got in trouble at school. Years later, that friendship would give all of them the courage to stand in the path of one of the world's deadliest terrorist organizations. The 15:17 to Paris is an amazing true story of friendship and bravery, of near tragedy averted by three young men who found the heroic unity and strength inside themselves at the moment when they, and 500 other innocent travelers, needed it most.

Six Minutes of Terror

Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 9386057522
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The Mumbai 7/11 train bombings in 2006 were one of the deadliest terror attacks the city had seen after the 1993 blast. The attacks orchestrated by the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (the ISI) were aimed to cripple the city by attacking its lifeline—the local train. A series of seven blasts in a span of only six minutes rocked the city at seven railway stations, killing 189 and injuring over 700. Six Minutes of Terror is the first investigative book that will present a blow by blow account of the events that led to the terrorist attack, profile the people involved in the blasts as well as describe how the plot was unearthed by the police. Superbly researched, with painstaking detail, the book tries to delve into the minds of the home-grown terrorists—who created unprecedented havoc and claimed innocent lives—ten years after the horrifying attacks.

Terror on the Tube
Author: Nick Kollerstrom
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781615777723
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
If 9/11 was the great pretext for the turn to fascism in the USA, London's 7/7 bombings were the enabling act for an Orwellian new reign of "anti"-terror in Britain, where the Home Office recruits tens of thousands of citizens to fight the "threat of Al-Qaeda". Is there a basis to this frenzy - or is the government merely terrorising the populace? The answer is here, in this craftsmanly masterpiece of detective work. Nick Kollerstrom, a private researcher acting on his own initiative, has solved the mystery of the 7/7 bombings: something Britain's billion-budget security apparatus can't or won't do. It's a compelling investigation and a convincing indictment of the real criminals: the British, US and Israeli secret services. It's the demolition of the fabricated evidence they brought into play. It's the posthumous exoneration of the four innocent young men, sacrificed and framed to shore up the rule of a crime cabal over this planet. Nick Kollerstrom has single-handedly done for 7/7 what a whole generation of authors did to expose 9/11 -- assembled the body of independent research into a coherent, balanced and authoritative appeal to justice. An appeal against the wars of aggression and neo-fascist police state that are underpinned by the propaganda trick of false-flag terror.
