September 11 was one of the most tragic events in United States history. This project is a timeline of attacks by Al-Qaeda members on September 11, 2001. Hijackers crashed 4 commercial passenger jet airliners into the World Trade Center in New York City and into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, resulting in over 2,500 casualties and 6,000 injuries. On September 20, 2001, in response to these attacks, President George W. Bush declared a “War on Terrorism” against Islamic terrorists and Osama bin Laden, the alleged founding leader of Al-Qaeda. Since 2001, there have been over 5,000 U.S. military casualties. Global Terrorism was one of the key issues of the 2008 United States Presidential election. Each candidate offered solutions to this event in their campaign in hopes of rebuilding the country after the devastating attacks.
