11 september 2021: 9/11 America in Memories: 20 years to the terror attack that shook the world

Washington, DC: Today marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that shook the world. On September 11, 2001, a plane crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, shocking the world. It was only after this terrorist attack that the world began to pay attention to the name of the terrorist Osama bin Laden. At least 3,000 people were killed in four separate terrorist attacks that day.

Osama bin Laden

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s name has also been widely reported in the wake of the attack. Bin Laden’s Al Qaeda has been carrying out terrorist attacks on the United States since the 1990s. Al Qaeda’s challenges to the United States include the 1992 attack on a U.S. military base in Yemen and the 1995 car bombing of a U.S. military training camp in Saudi Arabia.

Planes attack Ranchi

19 Al Qaeda terrorists were behind the attack. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a U.S. military base. At 8:30 a.m., he crashed into a tower in the World Trade Center in New York. It was first reported that the plane had strayed and crashed. But 17 minutes later, another plane crashed.

Attack on Pentagon headquarters

At the same time, a third hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon headquarters in Virginia.

A fourth plane crashed into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, but was resisted by passengers. The plane is believed to have been aimed at the White House.

Planner

Although the names of Osama bin Laden were heard after the attack, the idea of ​​the attack was put forward by a terrorist named Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. It was presented to bin Laden in 1996 and approved by bin Laden in 1998. He was arrested in 2003 and later transferred to Guantanamo Bay.

Revenge of America

Bin Laden had hoped that the US would stop interfering in Asia for fear of an attack. But the United States has insisted that bin Laden be released. The United States declared war on October 7, 2001, after the Taliban refused to extradite bin Laden. In 2011, bin Laden was shot dead by US Special Forces. Later, after Biden came to power, the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan on October 31, 2021, with the return of the last U.S. soldier.

Biden to release classified documents

Joe Biden has instructed the Department of Justice and other agencies to release confidential documents obtained during the FBI’s investigation into the September 11 attacks. Biden said the process should begin within six months. Biden had written to the survivors of the attack and the relatives of the 3,000 victims. The letter alleged that the United States was deliberately withholding documents proving that Saudi government officials had aided and abetted Al Qaeda militants.
