He married at age 17 to one of his relatives in Syria. Osama had gone to school like any other person, graduated high school and went on to College/University. “At secondary school and university he adopted the main trend of many educated Muslims at that time, Muslim Brotherhood” (Who was Bin Laden?). Osama bin Laden later on had joined a group called the Al-Qaeda. Osama joined this group because he thought that by joining this group he would have a good chance to get even with America. He disputed America even though he did all his studies here. He wanted to get revenge at a very extreme point. The only way he thought that he can do this was by joining a very powerful group. This group was formed by men and all they wanted to do was hurt the Americas. They made various plans and planned bombs. Osama was killing many people and people wanted justice. The FBI went on looking for him. “On March 16, 1998, Libya issued the first official Interpol arrest warrant against bin Laden and three other people. They were charged for killing Sylvan Becker, agent of Germany 's domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, in the Terrorism Department, and his wife Vera in Libya on March 10, 1994”(Osama bin Laden).

Roughly 2,753 people were killed on September 11, 2001, by terrorists who overtook commercial airplanes (Jones). The cause of these thousands of deaths were a series of attacks in New York City by an Islamic terrorist group, Al-Qaeda. However, there are still many questions about what actually happened the morning of September 11, 2001.

Two aircraft directed towards the direction of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York. All evidence that was found led to a radical Sunni Islamist group al-Qaeda being the culprit of 9/11.

For those of the most recent generations, including myself, we do not remember much tragedy in the U.S. occurring during our lifetime.

For me the most recent catastrophe to have been caused by another country on U.S. soil was 9/11, I was only three years old at the time so I have no memory of it whatsoever. People my age and younger are not from a time of moral and national panic, especially the panic from a nuclear attack. As Bill Perry puts it, "The largest upcoming generation, the millennials, were raised in a time when the problem felt largely solved, and it’s easy for them to imagine it’s still quietly fading
On September 11 2001, an attack was made on United States. Four systematic terrorist attacks were pulled off by the group al-Qaeda simultaneously bringing down the World Trade Centre in New York and damaging the Pentagon in Washington D.C. As extensive and in depth as the cause for the attack may have been, September 11 is an event that has undoubtedly left its mark in American history.

Bush called for a “war against terrorism.” Instead, what truly occurred was an act of counter terrorism. After 9/11, the political system of America took a turn for the worst;

There are a few reasons that made me question what started a war that has become the longest war in American History. This paper will dive into the facts behind the events of this day to uncover the truth behind what occurred that day. Some of the major aspects I will be examining are the hard facts of September 11th, who was responsible for these attacks, the political repercussions,
