More should have been done between the President, CIA, FBI and other appropriate anti-terrorism officials regarding this group and/or its leader. Some may say that the President himself was aware of Osama’s direct dwelling, but because it was a suspected site and not a validated site he withheld attacking. “…the Clinton administration knew the broad outlines in 1996 of bin Laden's capabilities and his intent, and unfortunately, almost nothing was done about it." (Lichtblau, 2005) This gave space for another attack from Al-Qaeda. On October 12, 2000 the USS Cole was attacked by suicide terrorist of Al Qaeda killing American sailors and injuring others.
September 11th, 2001 In my perspective, what happened on September 11th, 2001, was an act of terrorism on the United States. It was a decade ago that 19 terrorists took control of four planes, flew two into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, hit the Pentagon with a third, and crashed the fourth in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers resisted and made it impossible for the terrorists to complete their mission. The government also thought that 9/11 was an act of terrorism put on by the Muslims. While conspiracy theorists have a different perspective because they believe that there was more to this attack, it was plotted out and people from America were in on it. There have been many different perspectives on what really happened on this day.
Controversial acts were passed in an effort to control terrorism, the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was passed by George Bush shortly after 9/11 to make it easier for the government to access personal information like; phone conversations, emails, and other private information. It also gives them the power to detain anyone who they suspect of terrorism for up to one week. The freedoms and privacy of all Americans have been curtailed because of this act. Even though most Americans are not terrorists, simply knowing that the government has these new powers and abilities to invade on their privacy is bothersome
He has used profound acts of hatred to wage a deadly war against all of Western Civilization in the name of Islam. Through his acts of terrorism, he has not only negatively influenced the United States, but also portrayed a violently abysmal image for all Muslims, and has become a denotation of abhorrence world wide. Osama bin Laden performed many attacks against the United States and
How did the terrorist carry out this task? They were able to hijack four planes and drive them into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. The fourth plane’s destination is thought to be the White House. The plane never reached its goal thanks to its brave passengers. As a result of 9/11, we are taking extra precaution and are increasing our security.
An important moment in history was the Sept. 11th suicide attacks on the U.S. that was coordinated by Al-Qaeda, sending our country into another war. The 9/11 attacks were so significant to the world because it was the biggest planned hijacking and took the most innocent lives during the 21st century. The horrific events now constitute as part of United States history and have become an influence in decisions still being made to this day. On September 11, 2001 two planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. A third plane then crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and a fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania after the passengers attempted to regain control of the plane from the hijackers.
Although many people think the U.S. should leave the Middle East completely, the station of U.S. troops is absolutely necessary. If the countries will still have violence, Al-Qaeda is still present and active, and there could easily be another huge terrorist attack back in the states. Even after 11 years there is still violence still going on
This plane carried nine flight attendants, and eighty-one passengers, including the five terrorists. The hijacking started at about 8:14. To start the hijacking, two of the terrorists-Wail al Sheri and Waleed al Shehri- got out of their seats in first class and stabbed two of the Flight attendants. The terrorists somehow got into the cockpit. Atta was the only one of the five terrorists that was trained to fly a jet.
Thesis statement: Some believe that those events that happened thirteen years ago was a staged event by the US government to influence the general public into fully supporting a war in Iraq. Can this ISIS conflict just be a part two? INTRO: It's becoming more a familiar sight day by day...unless you live under a rock, it is now next to impossible to open a newspaper, or turn on the television let alone surf the internet without running accross a story about the ongoing ISIS conflict happening in the Syria-Iraq region. Whether you are an advit follower of the esculating situation or like many when asked about the conflict;"just doesn't care". One thing is certain, ISIS has been very successful at not only grabbing the US government's attention but the media as well.
RUNNING HEAD: TERRORISM 1 Terrorism, Emergency Powers, and the role of the U.S. Supreme Court RUNNING HEAD: TERRORISM 2 Thesis Since September 11, 2001 our nation went through an act or terror which terrorist took over two planes and directed them into the World Trade Center which stood 1,776 feet tall. When the planes hit the World Trade Center into two different areas that caused the World Trade Center to collapse and many lives were lost. On top of that the Pentagon was also attack with a plane which again many American’s. This was a terrorist act that no one expected. Terrorism, emergency powers and the role of the U.S. Supreme Court needs to come up with a plan in order to prevent this again.
