On Tuesday 11 September 2001
suicide attackers seized US
passenger jets and crashed them
into two New York skyscrapers,
killing thousands of people.
WHO ?
An Islamist extremist network
called al-Qaeda planned the
attacks from Afghanistan. Led
by Osama Bin Laden.
WHY ?
The motivations that led bin Laden and
al-Qaeda to carry out attacks on the United
States are the result of a long process that
began in the 1970s. Taking this context into
account, we must understand that the
motivation for the attack was the existing
enmity of Islamic fundamentalists and the
United States.
WHERE ?
World Trade Center, located in New York (USA), and
the Pentagon, located in Washington (USA).
