Kurdistan Iraq Iran Question 7 5 out of 5 points The EOKA used an urban strategy using a small amount of terrorists to fight 40,000 British soldiers. Their efforts brought international attention to Cyprus and aroused international support for independence. The struggle ended with a negotiated settlement. Like the EOKA, the FLN focused on urban areas and used terrorism to attract international publicity. Unlike the situation in Cyprus, most French people believed northern Algeria to be a part of France, and they saw the separatist movement as an internal rebellion. As a result, both the FLN and French security forces employed terrorism against each other. The Mau Mau movement in Kenya represents another postwar colonial revolt, but it differed from urban terrorism in Cyprus and Algeria. It was a rural resistance movement from a tribe displaced by colonial agricultural policies. Mau Mau fighters were defeated by repression, but Kenya achieved independence when the British public rejected inhumane measures. The struggles noted in the aforementioned scenario all have major foundations in _____? Selected Answer:

Shwarma Falafel Hawala Question 11 5 out of 5 points The Muslims who followed Mohammed agreed on many aspects of the new faith. God’s revelation to Mohammed was critical. The angelic utterances received by Mohammed were eventually codified in a single book, the Quran. The things Mohammed had said and done were recorded, and his actions became the basis for interpreting the Quran. All Muslims came to believe that it was necessary to confess the existence of one God and Mohammed as God’s Prophet. They were also expected to pray as a community, to give to the poor, to fast during holy times, and to make a pilgrimage to Mecca when able to do so. Problems came, however, in the question of leadership. According to Arabic tradition, Mohammed’s male heir should lead the community, but Mohammed claimed to have revealed a new law that said the importance of the community would take precedence over tribal rules of inheritance. One group of people believed the community should select its own leaders, but another group believed that Mohammed had designated Ali, his cousin and son-in-law, as the Muslim leader. The proponents of community selection carried the day, but Ali’s followers came to believe that God had given a special inspiration to Mohammed’s family.

What was the core reason for the Sunni-Shi’ite split in Islam? Selected Answer: Questions over leadership Answers: Economic issues Military conflicts Questions over leadership Geographical conflicts Question 12 5 out of 5 points Napoleon’s army’s first encounter with guerrilla tactics came with its invasion of which country?

Terrorism by WMD presents a potential strategic scenario and includes biological agents, or biological weapons, which have been used for centuries. Modern arsenals contain bacterial weapons and viral weapons, with microbes cultured and refined, or weaponized, to increase their ability to kill. Because bacterial agents are susceptible to antibiotics, nations with bacterial weapons programs have created strains of bacterial microbes resistant to such drugs. Viral agents are produced in the same manner, and they are usually more powerful than bacterial agents. Biological agents are difficult to control but relatively easy to produce. Terrorists may find them to be effective weapons. There are four types of biological agents: (1) natural poisons, or toxins that occur without human modification; (2) viruses; (3) bacteria; and (4) plagues. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classifies the most threatening from the groups as smallpox, anthrax, plague, botulism, tularemia, and hemorrhagic fever. Smallpox is classified under which category? Selected Answer: Bacteria Answers: Virus Toxin Bacteria

Plague Question 20 0 out of 5 points Terrorists tend to increase their effectiveness in bombing by applying improved explosives technology to their weapons just as conventional military forces constantly improve the killing power of their munitions. In 2004, New Scientist reported that Middle Eastern terrorist groups were working on a two-stage military-style weapon called a mininuke. This type of explosive is designed to spread fuel in the air and then ignite it. Known as a thermobaric bomb, it actually explodes the air in the blast area. One analyst speculated that an attack on a Tunisian synagogue in 2002 used this technology (Hambling, 2004). A thermobaric bomb is a force multiplier of what classification? Selected Answer: Media coverage Answers: Transitional support Technology
