Re: What organisation commited the largest terrorist acts?

If your answer was Al Qaeda, you are wrong.

The correct answer is USA.

The estimated population of Hiroshima in 1945 was 350,000
Majority was dead by 1950.

On August 6th 1945, the Enola Gay, a USA bomber, dropped a bomb called "Little Boy" on Hiroshima. For extracts from the plane's flight log - click here: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/enola_gay_and_hiroshima.htm
80,000 people were killed instantly
Out of the city’s 55 hospitals, only 3 were usable after the blast.
90% of all doctors and nurses in Hiroshima were killed or injured
Radiation claimed many more lives after the bomb was dropped.
48,000 out of 76,000 buildings were destroyed.

The initial heat blast was 900 times hotter than the sun.
Bodies were vapourised underneath the bomb blast.
By 1950, 200,000 people had died as a result of the bomb.
Between 1950 and 1980, a further 97,000 people died from cancers associated with the radiation caused by "Little Boy".


On August 9th 1945, the bomber "Bockspur" dropped "Fat Man" on Nagasaki. Once again, the final number of deaths was over 200,000.
