Introduction

On September 11, 2001, 13 terrorists hijacked 4 passenger planes, they used box cutters to take the planes over. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and One plane crashed into the Pentagon building in Washington, D.C. The last plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, which was brought down by the pilots to save the life’s of the place where the plane was heading. Many of these horrific events were witnessed live by millions of television viewers. This shocked the nation and caught my attention as a six year old boy that had no idea how this whole thing would affect my life. As I grew older the overall subject has intrigued me, and I started to look into it as to see what lead those terrorists into doing such a horrible mission to scar America for years to come. I would like to discover events and training leading the acts like this. Does religion play a part into attacks like 9/11, are they brainwashed? All of these questions have always been a on my mind and I’ve wanted to find out more Information on 9/11.

WTC & Motivation

The motivation for attacking America on September 11th, 2001 mostly came from the hate towards what the United States do policy wise and our support towards Israel. In Bin Laden’s "Letter to America", Bin Laden described the United States' support of Israel as a motivation: "The expansion of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its price, and pay for it heavily” The war is continuing because they have made it clear they are not stopping until they leave them alone and let their government decide for itself, The United States doesn’t need to control them.

The United States stepped in and is causing more problems and they will continue to fight, attack, and kill US Citizens and Soldiers until we let go of our grip. They chose the World Trade Center as their main target because it was a symbol the United States Citizens. If they destroyed such an important symbol to the United States it would hit harder to the heart of Americans. Once they have destroyed such a large symbol it cannot be replaced. It took ten months to even clean up the wreckage of the Twin Towers. They cannot be built over the same as before. Sure they can make a new one to commemorate them but it will never be the same. It will always show as a scar to what Al-Qaeda had done to the United States of America as a country.

Osama Bin Laden could have set the attacks to pipelines, train yards, any electrical lines but it
