On September 11,
2001, two planes crashed into the World
Trade Center
and one plane hit the Pentagon. Another plane
crashed in Pennsylvania. When the first plane
crashed into the World Trade Center people thought
that it was a terrible accident. However, when the
other three planes crashed, people knew that the
crashes were planned. The United States knows that
terrorists are responsible for the September 11th
attack. Terrorist attacks are acts of violence
against civilians. Terrorists try to kill as many
people as possible. The September 11th attack was a
random act of violence that killed thousands of
innocent people who were going about doing the
things they normally do. The World
Trade Center is also known as the Twin
Towers. Osama bin
Laden is hiding The United States
strongly believe that Osama
bin Laden and
his group of terrorists are behind the attack
because many clues lead up to them. Osama bin Laden
has been responsible for several bombings including
the truck bombing at the World Trade Center in
1993, the bombing of the two U.S. Embassies in
Africa in in 1998, and the bombing of the USS Cole
in 2000. While talking to a gruop of terrorists,
Osama bin Laden said, "It is very important to
concentrate on hitting the American economy with
every available tool...the economy base of it's
military power." He also said, "The United States
is a great economy but at the same time it is
fragile." Right now Osama bin Laden and other
terrorists are are hiding in Afghanistan's
caves. He is being protected by the Afghanistan's
Taliban rulers. The U.S. is presently fighting the
terrorists in Afghanistan. Once a Hero, Now an Angel
