Two planes crashed into both the south and north towers of the world center. Soon after, both towers collapsed to the ground killing over 2,000 people and injuring thousands more.

Osama bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia to a wealthy Yemeni family. Mohammed Bin Laden, Osama's father, was a wealthy construction entrepreneur who died in a helicopter crash when bin Laden was only 10 years old. Bin Laden, one of about 50 children, was then sent to live with his alienated mother, Hamida (Johnson, 2005). Hamida was a beautiful Syrian woman who was very independent. This independence gave her the nickname slave, given by the other wives. Therefore, the young bin Laden received the nickname son of a slave. Due to this fact, Osama's brothers often rejected him.

October 12, 2000. USS Cole was attacked while refueling by a small boat loaded with explosives. The explosion left a forty foot wide hole in the vessel with 17 American sailors dead. Simple timing and opportunity are all that terrorists need to accomplish their mission.

On October 12, 2000, the commanding officer of the USS Cole made a decision to refuel the guided missile destroyer in the port of Aden Yemeni, which resulted in a terrorist attach and the death of 17 American sailors. The commanding

Osama Bin Laden, seventeenth son among fifty brothers and sisters, was born on 1957 in Saudi Arabia. Mohammed Awad Bin Laden, Osama Bin Laden’s father, was a rich man who owned a large construction company. His family’s company was the largest in the kingdom of King Saud from Saudi Arabia. After Mohammed built a good relationship with the royal family, the king issued a decree that all construction projects should go to Bin Laden. As his father was having a good jog in the kingdom, Osama had his primary and secondary education in Jeddah. In Osama’s early years, age 13, he experienced the loss of his father, who had

Considered the “new pearl harbor,” the attacks on 9/11 left a lasting impact on the world today. Due to damage they had to take out large amounts of money in order to rebuild the city and fix what was broken. New words became popular in the American language including al-Qaida, Taliban, ground zero, radicalism, extremism, anthrax and the Axis of Evil. People began to look

The 9/11 terrorist attack is known as the worst in American History. A normal day on September 11th, 2001, nineteen terrorist from the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda prepared to hijack four planes. Two planes were flown into New York City hitting the towers of the World Trade Center. A third plane flew just right outside of Washington, D.C hitting the Pentagon. The last plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. All attackers got on to the planes safely and were prepared to take their own lives and the lives of others (a suicide attack).

The 9/11 attacks on the United States in the early morning hours on September 11, 2001 have defined the current culture in America more than any other event during the 21st century. This attack would rock a country that before that had not had an attack on American soil since the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. An entire generation had lived in relative peace and developed a sense of complacency.

The rejection on one side and turning to the west for protection on the other shocks Bin Laden as he would describe it as "one of the hardest moments of my life". Angered, humiliated, and feeling betrayed by his Saudi patrons, he leaves for Sudan in 1992 and from there begins his war against the infidels everywhere.

His father,being a self-made construction billionaire, strived to have his children accomplish as much as he did. He was also a religious fundamentalist, teaching his children the ways and beliefs of the Muslim faith. He dealt with his children, especially his sons, as if they were adults, and demanded they become confident and self-sufficient at an early age. After his parents got divorced, Osama spent most of his childhood living with his mother and her new husband. In 1967, Mohammed died an unfortunate death in a plane crash. The death of Osama’s father left a greater impact on Osama than most people realize. His father-being a self- made billionaire- set the bar very high for Osama and his brothers. Osama bin Laden said himself, “I want to be like my father. I will work day and night with no rest.(95)” This drew the path for Osama’s

Qaeda planned carefully in the attacks on the Unites States by sending nineteen militants over a period of several years to keep our suspicions down. They also held their meeting all across the globe. The planning meetings were held in Malaysia, they took flying lessons in the United States, and the leaders of al-Qaeda were in Hamburg, Germany. This is how many militants got over to the United States undetected especially the lead hijackers Mohammed Atta who was on our “watch list”. He was the one who communicated with Osama Bin Laden over e-mail about when the attacks were going to take place. This was just the preparation of what is about to come the United States’ way.

Al-Qaeda activities in terrorist plots can be traced back to almost 23 years ago, one of their first attack was in 1993 when a associate of Bin Laden named, Ramzi Yousef was charged and found guilty of orchestrating a bombing, that took place in the parking garage of The World Trade Center. It left six people dead and over 1042 injured, Ramzi was sentenced to life in prison without any possibility of parole. In 1995 seven people are killed when two bombs detonate at a U.S- Saudi military base, Bin Laden terrorist group is blamed for the attack. In the summer of 1996 Bin Laden's followers bomb another U.S military base in Saudi Arabia, leaving 19 American soldiers killed and many other wounded. Fast forward to the summer of 1998, a bombs explodes

The terror attack on September 11th 2001 is the most comprehensive terror attack in the U.S history, both in terms of material damage and number of death falls. There were four terrorist attacks by an Islamic terrorist group in the morning on September 11th. They hijacked four passenger airlines and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the U.S. Two planes crashed in the World Trade Center in New York, one in the Pentagon and one in Pennsylvania.

I’ve never been so excited to hear about a death in my entire life. Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Strom Thurmond...all were exhilarating—even invigorating—moments of vengeful macabre. But they pale in comparison to this sublimely blissful event; a single occurrence so focused and meaningful, so desired, so anticipated that the simple mention of it in certain company will bring rapturous cheers and talk of grand plans once refrained but now inevitable.
