DB Cooper, and he wasn't the first. It is true. Black September in Munich was the beginning of one of the longest running episodes of Muslim terrorism. I'll dig around for the info, I picked it up at a site that covered terrorism...but I didn't bookmark it. If you focus on events that have simply involved the US, or simply looked at hijackings, or events that made headlines, you'd be correct. Any of those standalone items would not prove to be consequential. But if you view the world as a whole, you've got Abu Sayyaf in the Phillipines, a host of Mid East groups (Hamas, the PLO, etc.), as well as God knows what elsewhere. I'm not sure how you'd classify the nuts in Jersey City (who remain quite activity judging by FBI activity in the area). Clearly, they are linked to Al Qaeda. But let's consider this - they bombed the WTC (twice), tried to blow up part of LAX (thwarted), tried to blow up the train tunnesl to NYC (thwarted). Take it to its logical conclusion. Even if it's a plurality, it's clear there is a pattern. If you don't see it, I'm very surprised.
