On September 11, 2001, a tragic series of coordinated attacks by 19 militants linked to al-Qaeda shook the United States. These attacks involved the hijacking of four airplanes, leading to the catastrophic destruction of the World Trade Center towers in New York City and significant damage to the Pentagon. Over 3,000 lives were lost, including more than 400 first responders. The aftermath reshaped American policies, initiated a global fight against terrorism, and heavily influenced the presidency of George W. Bush. Understanding these events is crucial for grasping their lasting impact.

Osama bin Laden:"I was not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States nor did I have knowledge of the attacks.
There exists a government within a government within the United States. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; to the people who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity.
That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks. ... The American system is totally in control of the Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States."
On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States.
Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush.
Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.
