Last 20 years? Hello?

Some news events:

1981 Azbakiyah bombing, in Damascus, Syria, by the Muslim Brotherhood
1983 U.S. Embassy bombing, in Beirut by the Islamic Jihad Organization
1985 Buddhist Borobudur temple bombing in Java Indonesia by Husein Ali Al Habsyi
1985 bombing  El Descanso restaurant in Madrid, Spain by  Islamic Jihad Organization

By the way, what does the USA have to do with Russian friction with Islamists reportedly coming out of  Chechnya and Dagestan grievances?
