In the wake of recent suicide bombings such as those in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando or the Paris attacks that occurred earlier, people all over the world have come together in extraordinary ways to provide aid and support for those affected. However, many terrorist attacks have been largely overlooked by the media, especially the ones that happen in countries and cities that are unfamiliar to the general population. Here are six recent terrorist attacks that deserve to be brought to the attention of the public.

1. Istanbul Bombing on January 12, 2016

Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, suffered from a suicide bombing in a popular square that left 14 wounded and 13 dead. The bomber was identified as Nabil Fadli, an ISIS supporter in Syria.

2. Ankara Bombing on February 17, 2016

Ankara, Turkey's capital, was attacked by Kurdish fighters. They were aiming at military forces, leaving 29 people dead and 60 others injured.

3. Grand-Bassam Hotel Shooting on March 13, 2016

Grand-Bassam resort, a popular hotel in the Ivory Coast, was attacked by a group linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist group. They left at least 18 people dead and 33 others injured.

4. Nasa Hablod Hotel Attack on April 2, 2016

The Nasa Hablod hotel, located in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, was assaulted by the terrorist group al-Shahab. An explosives-laden truck was used to kill at least 15 people and to wound 20 others.

5. Bombing in Baghdad on May 2, 2016

The car bombings in Baghdad killed at least 70 people and injured over 100 others. The Islamic State (ISIS) took responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by Abu Khattab al-Iraqi. He threw hand grenades and also detonated a suicide belt.

6. Ghazni Suicide Bombing on June 1, 2016

The Taliban attacked the city of Ghazni, Afghanistan and killed many security personnel. There were nine people killed and 13 people wounded. These people ranged from civilians to police as well as attackers.

Almost on a daily basis, multiple terrorist attacks occur around the world. However, only a sparse few are brought to the attention and emphasized by the media. In no way are these attacks more important or impactful than others; they are all acts of war on human lives. No matter how far apart countries are from each other or whether or not the media chooses to cover a story, all terrorist attacks deserve to be brought to the attention of the public.

*Note: Many more terrorist attacks were carried out from January 1, 2016 to June. These six have been picked randomly and not due to the severity of the attack.
