in 2001 September 11 The attacks, known simply as 9/11 for the date in English, were four coordinated Islamist suicide attacks on the United States. A total of almost 3,000 people died during them. people (2.6 thousand in the World Trade Center alone) and the long-term global war on terrorism began.

That morning, 19 terrorists hijacked four passenger planes that had taken off to fly from the northeastern states to California. The first two planes they crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center (PPC) in New York, two of the five tallest buildings in the world at the time.

The other two were directed to Washington. The suicide bombers who hijacked one of these planes managed to crash into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the Department of Defense in Arlington County. A fourth, believed to have targeted the Capitol or the White House and whose passengers turned on terrorists, crashed in rural Pennsylvania.

The attack was organized O.bin Ladenaswhich the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had included as early as 1999 in connection with recent attacks in East Africa List of 10 most wanted fugitives. in 1998 in August, during the bombings of the US embassies in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Nairobi (Kenya), which took place almost at the same time, 224 people were killed and 4.5 thousand were injured. people.

The bombings “made al Qaeda a powerful adversary for the United States,” the report said noted 9/11 Commission.

At the beginning of the millennium, al Qaeda continued to carry out attacks. Some failed (for example, the plan to blow up the Los Angeles airport on the eve of the 2000s), some ended in deaths (for example, the U.S. ship „USS Cole“which had stopped in Yemen to refuel, when an explosives-laden boat was targeted, killing 17 military personnel and injuring nearly 40 crew members).

“The September 11th attacks were a shock, but they should not have been a surprise,” noted the commission that analyzed this tragedy. – Islamist extremists have given numerous warnings that they intend to kill Americans indiscriminately, and kill many of them (the report mentions not only the aforementioned bombings, but also the 1993 PPC truck explosion, the 1995 revelations by the Manila police about plans to blow up US planes over the Pacific Ocean, etc. – ed. post.).

Although O. bin Laden himself did not emerge as an ominous warning until the late 1990s, the threat of Islamist terrorism grew at that time.”

Until 1997 The US intelligence community did not consider O. bin Laden a terrorist leader, only a financier. in 1998 in February he and four other people from different countries issued a fatwain which he stated that it is God’s commandment for every Muslim to try his best to kill any American anywhere in the world because of the US “occupation” of Islamic holy sites and aggression against Muslims.

“September 11th was a day of shock and suffering unprecedented in US history. The nation was unprepared,” the commission stated after listing various previous attacks by Islamists and other signs that even worse attacks should be expected.

Started with Israel’s war with Lebanon?

In various in public statements Bin Laden praised the suicide bombers for the attacks. True, immediately after the attacks he denied his involvement: “I emphasize that I did not carry out this act, which seems to have been carried out by individuals with their own motives.”

But in November of the same year, US forces found a videotape in a destroyed house in Jalalabad (Afghanistan) that showed him as the leader of al-Qaeda mentioned aware of the attacks.

In a video posted in December, he was near confessionthat he was responsible for the attacks: “Terrorism against America deserves praise because it was a response to an injustice to force America to stop supporting Israel, which is killing our people. It is important to hit the economy, which is the basis of their (US) military power.”

Finally, just before 2004 During the US presidential election, O. bin Laden publicly admitted that “al Qaeda” exists related to attacksand its direct connection to the attacks.

“The events that directly affected my soul began in 1982, when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, and America’s Sixth Fleet helped them. A bombardment ensued, killing and injuring many, while others were terrorized and displaced.

I could not forget those moving scenes, blood and severed limbs, women and children lying everywhere. Houses are destroyed along with the inhabitants, tall buildings are demolished above the inhabitants, rockets falling mercilessly on our houses…

When I looked at those ruined towers in Lebanon, it occurred to me that we should punish the oppressors in kind, and that we should tear down the towers in America, that they might taste a little of what we have tasted, and that they might be deterred from killing our women and children.”

O.bin Ladenas pointed out for his followers to attack the PPC and the Pentagon. in 2006 another video broadcast by Al Jazeera showed him preparing for the attacks with one of the main planners of the attacks, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and two would-be hijackers.
