The Impact Of Osama Bin Laden 's Death

A month after the terrorist attack in the US, a war was launched by the United States. This war was known as the “fight back” war. It was the beginning of George Bush administration’s war on terrorism. The main theme of this war was to stop terrorism and catch Osama Bin Laden. He was the main person who planned this evil attack on September 11, 2001. Bin Laden’s trained groups that were

America has experienced some events that has made an impact on all of our lives. Take the attack on 9/11 for example; terrorists attacked the United States using planes. They hijacked four airplanes in mid-flight. The terrorists flew two of the planes into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact caused the buildings to catch fire and collapse. Another plane destroyed part of the Pentagon (the U.S. military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Officials believe that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy either the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Passengers was the plane fought the terrorists and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. This attack reminded many people of the attack of Pearl Harbor. Both were very catastrophic events that changed U.S. History and America in a way that makes us realize that we need to be strong.

On May 2nd, 2011, the people of the United States awoke to some of the best news they would hear for many years to come; Osama bin Laden had been killed. President Barack Obama delivered the message at 7:30AM and the country was buzzing about it for weeks after. Osama bin Laden was a name that every American man, woman, and child knew. On 9-11-01, four planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into strategic locations to sow chaos, confusion, death, and destruction into the American people. 2,977 innocent Americans died on that fateful day, and the man who decided they should die and be subject to terror was Osama bin Laden. Since that fateful day, America has donated massive amounts of time and money to find Osama, and bring him to justice. However, time and time again he evaded capture and kept us chasing him.

U.S didn't really know Osama Bin Laden or the extent of anger himself and his group had with America. The moment that first plane hit the North tower everybody new the immigration system was going to be changed forever! Deportations have sky rocketed sense 9/11 and are still increasing today. Less than a month after 9/11 American troops invaded Afghanistan in search for Al-Qaeda terrorist members that took ownership of 9/11. The war of terror with Afghanistan and Iraq has been the longest running war in United States history and is STILL on-going today! In the last 16 years millions of troops have been deployed over seas, leaving thousands dead, and many returning with life changing mental and physical injuries. Today there is a similar terrorits group called ISIS, it has different beliefs than Al- Qaeda but doesn't have just one leader, as Al- Qaeda had one (Osame Bin Laden). ISIS has more followers sense most of their recruiting and promoting of their wants and needs using terrorism tactics online. ISIS is more focused on using there act of terror at home while Al-Qaeda targeted the U.S and the West. This is just one horrible example of why the war is going on today, and isn't expected to end for awhile. It is just another group trying to take over countries by using the act of terror and war. By the help of our American troops and rescources it will hopefully just be another piece of history

In this attack, 6 muslims from al-qaeda bombed in the world trade center killing about 6 people and injuring hundreds. After this first attack, Osama destroyed a U.S. military base in Saudi Arabia with a truck full of explosives killing about 20 soldiers and wounding about 400. The al-qaeda organization officially declared a “holy war” against the United States. Once the “holy war” was declared, a suicide bombing in Kenya and Tanzania killed about 225 people. In September 11 2001, the event that made Osama Bin Laden become known by people, was the attack on the world trade center and the pentagon. From Osama’s organization, 19 al-qaeda members had hijacked 2 airplanes that had left Boston to Los Angeles that morning fully loaded with fuel and were driven and crashed into the twin towers (world trade center). A third airplane going from Washington's Dulles International Airport to Los Angeles was also hijacked and crashed into the

Osama Bin Laden left his mark on society by his role in inflicting terror into the hearts and minds of people worldwide. What is so frightening about terrorism is that it could happen anywhere and anytime. Bin Laden used this advantage of mystery to plant the seed of fear into people’s minds worldwide. In October 2001, according to a Gallup poll, forty six percent of Americans said terrorism was America’s biggest problem (Grier 47). This shows that Osama Bin Laden has had an enormous and lasting influence on the way Americans think and why they may do certain things. Osama Bin Laden had such a great influence on Americans and their minds that the CIA released a bounty worth $25 million for Bin Laden. New York City authorities put posters up around New York City showing again how much the capture of Osama Bin Laden was worth to America and how much he had affected society. This is evidenced in figure one, showing that officials want Bin Laden dead or alive. Osama Bin Laden destroyed billions of people’s peace of mind worldwide. The 9/11 attacks were carried out in conditions of everyday life, which was in essence using the element of surprise as a

This decision influenced what happened that day. The original plan was to hijack twelve planes and for 11 of them to be crashed into the world trade center, The Empire State Building, The Pentagon, Arlington, VA, The White House, US Capitol Building, Washington, DC, George Bush Center for Intelligence, US Bank Tower, The Sears Tower (what is now the Willis Tower), US Steel Tower, and the Columbia Center. Mohammed wanted to hijack a 12th plane, kill all the adult males, and then set all the women and children free. Al-Qaeda also wanted to attack gas stations at many major US cities, take over more airplanes and attack nuclear power plants and major bridges on both sides of the US. After days of talking, the attackers narrowed down their plan of attack to three targets. The reason that the plan was narrowed down so much was because there wasn’t enough time to coordinate it

Nobody knew who the terrorists were and many wanted

What impact did 9/11 have on the world? Isis didn't exist at the time. The world wasn't at war. The last thing the U.S was worried about was a terrorist attack. In 2001 September the 11th the U.S was under an Isis attack. This all started 14 years ago and will probably be remembered as one of the biggest disasters in the world.

A similar narrative tragically played out during the years and months before 9/11. Like the Empire of Japan, al-Qaida was not viewed as a significant enough threat in the eyes of the United States. “Terrorism incidents were relatively rare, but not unknown, within the United States itself prior to September 11th 2001 … Most Americans however considered terrorism a problem that mainly plagued other nations.” (Brinkley, 797- 798) According to the 9/11 Commission Report, a federal investigation

Following the attacks of September 11, the United States government responded with military force. It was clear that Al Qaeda was behind the attacks, and knowing that Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden were based in Afghanistan, President George W. Bush gave the Taliban an ultimatum: either hand over Bin Laden and his organization or the United States would strike with full force. Congress passed legislation authorizing the use of force in striking against terrorist targets.. Answer was NO. United Nation decided to solve the problem really fast and show to all world what UN power means. In October 2001 American bombs has hit first targets. To avoid sending tousands of troops so far away, CIA was recruting Local Warlors, Milicia etc and using The Afghan Northern Alliance (a military-political umbrella organization) to punish TALIBAN for terrorist

On August 7, 1998 the U.S. embassies in both Kenya and Tanzania were bombed. This attack would be the first of many made by the Taliban and al-Qaeda. U.S. President Bill Clinton ordered an attack where bin Laden would be; however it failed because he was not in the compound when the attack took place. The failed assassination attempt by the U.S. government only made the ties between Omar, bin Laden, ISI, and Kashmiri stronger allies. Kashmiri is a Pakistani terrorist group. The U.S. wanted to assassinate bin Laden, so that the alliance would fall.

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

Ever since the bombing of the World Trade Center on February 1993 the United States of America has stepped up its commitment to stopping terrorism. The general public after the bombing also took a new view on Islam, a negative one. The February 7 arrest of Ramzi Yousef made the world open its eyes to Islamic terrorists. The FBI is even involved in terrorist investigations and it does not help the image of the Islamic people that most wanted man by the United States of America is Usama Bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian. He is the leader of the terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda, which is one of the most active terrorist groups. His central issue is the United States presence in the Arabian Peninsula and the military presence in his former homeland Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden made a declaration in February 1999 in the name of his "International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders." He stated that "to kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military, is an individual duty of every Muslim who is able, in any country where this is possible." These kinds of statements are immediately taken by the Western media and given to the public. The public of course reacts with anger and creates a bias against

at home and and abroad could be far more valuable assets than military triumphs”. Compared to Irish civilians during the begging of the fight towards independence, the FLN did not receive much support from the native population. The FLNs tendency to terrorize indigenous Alger’s, shake down villagers for money, and kill those who resisted contributed to the native populations indifference attitude towards the FLNs cause. In 1956, the FLNs leaders realized they had to change their strategy in order to attract international attention. They believed that the use of terrorism would gain them credibility amongst the Muslim population and lead to an increase in violence by French authorities against Muslim population. The increase in terrorism by the FLN lead to the desperate retaliation by the French.
