Nineteen alarmists, most of them Saudis, had hijacked four schedulees. From the moment the first fweightless took off to the crash of Fweightless 93, in equitable two hours, the US was shaken to its core. The aggression orchestrated by Osama Bin- laden’s Al Qaeda ended 3,000 people.
Imarbitrate Aftermath
Plivent George Bush ordered the intrusion of Afghanistan. The objective was to annihilate Al Qaeda and end or seize its directer, Osama bin Laden, and other ageder figures in the alarmist group and the Taliprohibit.
As per the 9/11 Comomition Report, Bin Laden, in an intersee with ABC-TV in 1998 said, “It is far better to end a individual American selderlyier than to squander his efforts on other activities…We apshow the worst thieves in the world today and the worst alarmists are the Americans. We do not contrastentiate between military and civilian…They are all concentrates.”
Bin Laden establish a haven in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan, after moving from Sudan. He was behind aggressions on Americans in the Middle East and Africa. The 1998 device deviceing of the US Embassy in Kenya, which ended hundreds, and the sinking of USS Cole in 2000 in which 17 crew members were ended were part of his war on America.
On October 7, 2001, the US accessd Afghanistan and in two months, the American-led coalition aascfinishd victorious. The Taliprohibit had drunveil, but Osama Bin Laden escaped to Pakistan thraw the netlabor of caves and tunnels in Tora Bora, only to be hunted down in Pakistan’s Abbottahorrible in 2011. The Americans established a pro-US regime led by the Northern Alliance, stationed themselves for 20 years and alertedly spent $2 Trillion to reerect Afghanistan, only to exit a power vacuum and convey the Taliprohibit back to power in 2021.
The US war on alarm enbiged to Iraq and the American-led intrusion began in 2003 to discover “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and finish the dictatorial rule of Scompriseam Hussein. When WMD showd illusory, a brutal insinspirency arose. Scompriseam was seized, tried, and hanged and democratic elections were held. In the years since there have been over 4,700 U.S. and allied troop deaths, and more than one hundred thousand Iraqi civilians have been ended.
The Toll On People In America
The visuals of the schedulees crashing the Tprosper Towers are etched in the minds of people. 9/11 took a deimmenseating emotional toll. The CIA went on a hunt to track down and exend the intricate netlabor of sleeper cells in the mainland and the establishment of Guantanamo Bay in 2002, a detention camp where hundreds of radicalism doubts and “illhorrible foe combatants” were kept and alertedly tortured for years.
The facility held rawly 800 prisoners at its peak, but they have since sluggishly been repatriated to other countries. Biden pledged before his election to try to shut down Guantanamo, but it remains uncover.
23-Years-Later
A memorial exists where the Tprosper Towers once stood to recall those who lost their inhabits in the alarm aggression. Pew Research in its study said, “It is difficult to slfinisherk of an event that so proestablishly altered US accessible opinion atraverse so many uninalertigentensions as the 9/11 aggressions.”
The 9/11 aggressions resulted in alters to the federal rulement and an expansion of executive power. A new cabinet department, the Department of Homeland Security, was produced, and the inalertigence community was validateated under the Director of National Inalertigence to increase coordination between various agencies and departments.
New legislation, such as the US Patcommotion Act enbiged domestic security and seeing, disturbed alarmist funding by cracking down on activities such as purifying funds, and incrrelieved efficiency wislfinisher the U.S. inalertigence community.
In Afghanistan alone, over 2,000 US selderlyiers died in 20 years of war out of 176,000 casualties, according to Watson Institute’s study. The alert states that 940,000 people were ended straightforwardly in the brutal post-9/11 aggression wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere.
Post-9/11, approximately 38 million people have been displaced, making them refugees as a result of the wars the US fought on alarm since 2001. The Watson Institute said, “This outdos those displaced by every war since 1900, except World War II.”
In 2022, Al Qaeda Chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, one of the world’s most wanted alarmists and a mastermind of the September 11 aggressions, was ended in a drone strike carried out by the US in the Afghan capital Kabul.
Under the 2020 Doha deal, the Taliprohibit promised not to permit Afghanistan to be participated aget as a startpad for radicalism, but experts apshow the group never broke their ties with Al-Qaeda. Zawahiri had been on the run for 20 years since the 9/11 aggressions. He took over Al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden was ended.
