Terrorism Against Muslim Interests And The Sanctions Against Iraq

At 6:00 a.m., Atta and Omari a flight from Portland to Boston. Then they checked in at American 11 which had its destination for Los Angeles. They would be passed through a series of checkpoints like the explosive-trace detector, an X-ray machine, etc. Also, some of these hijackers were selected by CAPPS (Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System) which just made these people be subject to special security measures. Over the course of about 2 hours and 14 minutes, they had been checked. Then the hijacking began to take place. Two of the hijackers stabbed flight attendants; they also tried to lure out the captain out of the cockpit, taking control of the plane. In order to prevent the passengers from intervening their plan, they would use pepper spray. The passengers were taken to the very back of the plane, meanwhile they were calling people to relay important information about the events taking place. Then they crashed the plane into the northern tower at the World Trade Center. As for United 93, the hijackers were Saeed al Ghamdi, Ahmed al Nami, Ahmad al Haznawi, and Ziad Jarrah. One of them was only selected by CAPPS (Hanawi). The flight was scheduled to leave from Newark, NJ, to San Francisco, CA. Along with the other hijackers, they also had to pass through security checkpoints. They had to pass through explosive-trace detectors, X-ray machines, and all the other machines they used. The hijackers used the same tactics as the other members but what they did differently is that, according to some phone calls, they didn’t use pepper spray or threaten to kill anyone, or killed anyone at all. Same story, passengers made phone calls to relay information, then crashed at 10:02:23 into some fields in

Al Qaeda has taken responsibility for numerous attacks and attempts, including an attack that made Osama bin Laden very well known to many people in the United States. That attack occurred on September 11, 2001. Three planes were hijacked and the hijackers flew the planes into the United States territory, destroying the

On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists took control of four planes and caused one of the biggest tragedies in American history. At 8:45 a.m. and 9:03 a.m., two of the hijacked planes crashed into the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, leaving hundreds trapped, dead, and injured. The towers were given unsustainable damage for they both soon collapsed, the South falling first within minutes, the North following a little more than an hour later. As those shocking events were happening, a third plane crashed into the west side of the Pentagon at 9:45 a.m. in Washington D.C., leading to half of the building’s ruin. The last plane –Flight 93– did not suffer as big as consequences as the other crashes, thanks to a group of

It began on September 11, 2001, just before 9:00 am, The skies were clear, blue and the temperature was around a perfect 80 degrees. Five hijackers boarded American Airlines Flight 11 heading for Los Angeles, Ca. They crashed Flight 11 into the north side of World Trade Center Tower 1. A few minutes later from the same airport, Logan International airport, five hijackers boarded United Airlines Flight 175 heading toward Los Angeles, Ca also. The hijackers crashed Flight 175 into World Trade Center Tower 2. At about the same time from Washington Dulles International airport, five hijackers boarded American Airlines Flight 77 heading to Los Angeles, Ca. and it was crashed into the Pentagon. Thirty minutes after Flight 77 leaves Washington Dulles, four hijackers boarded United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark International airport to San Francisco, Ca. The four hijackers crashed near Shanksville, Pa. after the passengers fought the hijackers. Experts suggested that Flight 93 's target is believed to have been either the Capitol or the White House. Flight 93 's cockpit voice recorder revealed crew and passengers tried to seize control of the plane from the hijackers after learning through phone calls that Flights 11, 77, and 175 had been crashed into buildings that morning. Once it became evident to the hijackers that the passengers might regain control of the plane, the hijackers rolled the plane and intentionally crashed it.

final plane was given the objective to strike the Nation’s Capital in Washington DC, however

In the early morning of 2001, Muslim extremists hijacked four passenger airplanes departing from the East Coast heading for California. Two of these planes hit the North and South towers of The World Trade Center in New York City. One plane hit the Pentagon in near Washington D.C., and another was a failed hijack attempt resulting in the plane being crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The failed attempt is speculated to have been heading for The White House. In all the attacks on September 11, 2001 caused a total loss of 2,977 lives including the 19 hijackers (CNN, 2015).

Al-Qaeda’s target and nemesis; the United States Government and the people that support the government. The main problem to al-Qaeda is the US government. According to bin Laden by being loyal to the US regime, you have committed an act against Islam. (Information Clearing House, 1997). This jihad was now personal, due to the United States supporting the Israelis, bin Laden could take no more. Dating back to 1982, before the organization of al-Qaeda, America placed gruesome scenes in bin Laden’s head that he could not forgive. America gave the Israelis the green light to invade Lebanon and the American Sixth Fleet helped them. “I cannot forget those unbearable scenes of blood and severed limbs, the corpses of women and children strewn everywhere, houses destroyed along with their occupants and high-rise buildings burying their residents, rockets raining down on your land without mercy.” (Milelli, 2008) A holy war has started, any allies of the United States was in al-Qaeda’s path of destruction.

September 11, 2001, started as a perfect day, but as the day went on, chaos and terror erupted in the streets of New York City. New York’s iconic World Trade Center fell victim to hijacked commercial airlines filled with innocent people. In 102 minutes, the world was forever changed by one of the worst attacks the United States has ever experienced. Many factors made the terrorist attacks of September 11th a day that is permanently etched into the hearts and minds of Americans.

September 11, 2001, millions of New Yorkers and American citizens woke up and started their day, unprepared and unaware for the catastrophic attack that would be taking place in just a few short hours. At 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. The impact killed all of the passengers and crew as well as hundreds inside the building. At 9:03 a.m., a second plane, Flight 175, crashed into the corner of the South Tower killing passenger, crew, and workers who worked on floors seventy-five to eighty-three. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. killing approximately 185 individuals (History.com Staff). Because of the damaged to the support system, fires, and impact at extremely fast speed, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. (Lipton and Glanz). Having heard about the acts of terrorism that had just taken place in New York and Washington, D.C., a group of passengers drove their plane, Flight 93, into a Pennsylvania field killing everyone on board but possibly saving hundreds of other lives in the process. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. 102 minutes after being struck (History.com Staff). On September 11, 2001, almost twelve hundred people were wounded or killed by “coordinated suicide attempts” by Al Qaeda terrorists. In result to the four airplanes being hijacked and used for premediated reasons, the United States government instituted new regulations for entering the country and airport security as well as expounded on systems already in place.

During the attacks, the motives that the terrorists had were awful. I do not agree with the motives, but they had some. Like how 9/11 was not the first World Trade Center incursion (“September 11, 2001). In 1993 a truck ended up exploding in the parking garage of the World Trade Centers

Al-Qaeda’s first attack happened in December 1992, where a bomb was set off in the Gold Muhr Hotel in Aden, Yemen. Fortunately, no Americans were killed, but left many injured and terrified. Ramzi Yousef was not apart of al-Qaeda’s plans, but was linked financially with Osama bin Laden. Yousef did most of bin Laden’s dirty work such as planting a bomb on a Philippines Airlines Boeing 747 and detonated an explosive filled van in the basement of the World Trade center. The most tragic attack was on September 11, 2001. The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States. They hijacked four planes and drove two into the World Trade Center, a third plane hit the Pentagon outside of Washington, D.C., and the fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. This attack resulted in serious death and destruction, angering many Americans. After this traumatic, agonizing attack, al-Qaeda continued to plan fatal attacks by issuing fatwas and taunts over the radio and television. Al-Qaeda plotted plans such as an attempt of assassination to the Egyptian president and continuous bombings which they took credit for. In order to make these plans go perfectly smooth, al-Qaeda recruited young jihadis, as well as, training and arming Somali rebels. While training them, al-Qaeda made sure to

September 11, 2001, every American 's nightmare. Remembered as one of the most horrendous and inconceivable hours every American underwent. Even today, the events that took place on this day affected every person in this world. Our way of life, our citizen was under attack. Thousand of lives were awfully ended by the attack. Although Al-Qaeda hated America, evidence prove it was a revenge to the American people and not a Holy war. While these attacks will be in our hearts forever, the outcomes are felt in various ways as well.

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, at 8:46 a.m., the United States was attacked by members of the terrorists from Al-Qaeda. Nineteen hijackers from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon, hijacked four American passenger jets bound for California. Both flight 11 of American Airlines and flight 175 of United Airlines would be flown into the north and south towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. American Airlines flight 77 would be flown into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Finally, United Airlines flight 93 would be flown into a farmer’s field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, failing to reach

Al-Qaeda was founded by Osama Bin Laden, and Abdullah Azzam, both Mujahideen fighters. The group focused its effort on the United States after the United State’s occupation of Saudi Arabia to support the country, and the US’s support of Israel. This was seen as an insult as they were in the land of the two mosques, Mecca and Medina. The terror group had laid out a fatwa in 1998 that highlighted why they wanted kill Americans, and the call to all Muslims to do the same. The terrorist group had taken responsibility for the 1998 U.S Embassy bombings killing 224. The October 2000 bombing of the destroyer the USS Cole killing 17 servicemen. Their successful plots embolden their strategy, and their leaders decided to bring to bring the fight to

Al-Qaeda motives for this awful attack on the U.S include: western support for the attack on the muslime in somalia supporting the indian oppression against muslims. So basically the muslims were just getting
