took hostage all the missing diplomats for negotiation purposes.

According to Nacos, the reporter’s descriptions, background information, transitional texts, and anchorage comments during the hostage…

“Rock the Casbah” came out in June 11, 1982 by the English punk rock band The Clash. “Rock the Casbah” is the third single on The Clash's fifth album Combat Rock and reached number 8 on the Billboard hot 100 in the U.S. It also reached number 8 on the dance chart.

In the Oklahoma City bombing, the medias influence had substantially magnified the effect of this terrorist act. Media covered the event for days, and the public was watching because it was a major source of information. However, Pfefferbaum concluded, if people are experiencing fear, arousal and hypervigilance it can lead to seeking further information and continuing concerns about safety (Vasterman, Yzermans, & Dirkzwager, 2005). In addition, viewing the televised coverage from this bombing…
