The Scourge of Terrorism

The tragic events in Brussels on Tuesday once again brought to the forefront the seemingly never ending battle to fight the scourge of terrorism.   As has been the case, time and time again, suicide attackers set their sights on so-called soft targets, detonating their bombs at an airport and in a subway station.   At least 30 people died and more than 200 were injured.  

The coordinated attacks in Belgium come just a few months after terrorists struck in Paris and in San Bernardino, California.   In each case, ISIS has either claimed responsibility for or inspired the carnage.
