NATIONAL ANTHEM
Four passenger airliners were hijacked. Within two hours, both
towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial
or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex.,
after its passengers tried to overcome the hijackers. In total,
almost 3,000 people died in the attacks, including the 227
civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes. It also was the
deadliest incident for firefighters and for law enforcement officers
in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed
respectively.
Suspicion quickly fell on al-Qaeda. Although the group's leader,
Osama bin Laden, initially denied any involvement, in 2004, he
claimed responsibility for the attacks. Al-Qaeda and bin Laden
cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi
Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives for the attacks. The
United States responded to the attacks by launching the War on
Terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which had
harbored al-Qaeda. Many countries strengthened their antiterrorism legislation and expanded law enforcement powers.
Having evaded capture for years, bin Laden was located and
killed by U.S. forces in May 2011
