The fourth plane en route to DC crashed near Shanksville as passengers and crew attempted to storm the pilot’s cabin.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed, and the attacks prompted a worldwide “war on terror” by the United States. Ayman al-Zawahri, a key al-Qaida figure who helped plot the 9/11 attacks, was killed in a U.S. drone strike, and the memorial services on Sunday took place just over a month after his death.

Background

Al-Qaeda

Al- Qaeda terror attacks

In 1979, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, al-Qaeda was born. To help his fellow Muslims (in Afghanistan) defeat Communist invaders, Osama bin Laden volunteered to travel to the central Asian country (the Soviets). 

Bin Laden led the Arab mujahideen (also known as “Afghan Arabs”) to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan until they withdrew in 1989. Some of the billions of dollars worth of weapons supplied by the CIA to the Afghan mujahideen resistance eventually made their way into the hands of Arab volunteers.

Bin Laden cited holy books in the Islamic canon to incite Muslims to violence against the United States until their perceived wrongs righted. If the enemy destroys Muslim countries, then it is the individual’s duty to engage in jihad, as Muslim legal scholars “have throughout Islamic history unanimously agreed,” according to bin Laden.

Senior policy official Stephen Cambone reportedly took notes in which Rumsfeld requested the “best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit S.H.

Hamilton chaired the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9/11 Commission), which established in late 2002 to compile a detailed account of the events leading up to and following the attacks. In its report on the events of September 11th, 2004, the Commission released on July 22nd, 2004.

The 9/11 Commission, comprised primarily of ex-senators, ex-representatives, and ex-governors, stated that “We believe the 9/11 attacks revealed four kinds of failures: in imagination, policy, capabilities, and management,” and went on to make numerous recommendations to prevent future attacks.
