Global InformationMuharem Kurbegovic information
Muharem Kurbegović (born 1943), also known as The Alphabet Bomber, is an immigrant from the former Yugoslavia who was a terrorist. His most notable act was a 1974 bombing of the Los Angeles International Airport on August 6, 1974, killing three and injuring thirty-six.
Kurbegovic was nicknamed "The Alphabet Bomber" because of his alleged plan to attack places in an order that would make an anagram of Aliens of America. "A" for airport, "L" for locker, etc.[1] He later disputed this and stated that his objective was to "undermine and erode the foundation of Western Civilization, which is the Holy Bible".[2]
Kurbegovic was one of the first to use what was called "information warfare",[1] taking responsibility for other attacks under the alias of a SLA member named "Rasim".[3]
