I think that during W.W.2, When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor that it was a terrorist attack. This event reminds me of 9/11 because It happened out of nowhere. We were also not at war at the time with Iraq. The same events that could relate to each other is They both devastated America, not only that but they both attacked us with planes.

Preceding the terrible events on September 11th, 2001, the American Secret Services have made many mistakes in regard to the possibility of preventing 9/11. The Secret Services, mainly the CIA and the FBI, have made a great lot of mistakes. A teletype regarding known facts about a suspected Islamic extremist, Zacarias Moussaoui, was sent to the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Customs Service, the State Department, the Immigration and Naturalization Services, and the Secret Service (Taylor).

On September 11, 2001 changed America forever. Two planes crashed into the Twin Towers killing thousands of people.

The September 11th terrorist attack that took place in 2001 in New York City, Manhattan, Arlington County and Virginia was a four series coordinated terrorist attack by a Islamic terrorist group. They both have many similarities. In the Red Scare a post office discovered 38 bombs that had been mailed to leading Americans politicians and capitalist after that an Italian anarchist was blown up.

Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were responsible for plotting 9/11. Khalid Sheik Mohammed was the 9/11 operational commander who initially planned an attack on the United States, which involved hijacking ten planes which were to be flown into buildings on both the west and east coasts. Osama bin laden attacked the United States because of his hatred for the US and his yearning for revenge against the US. Bin Laden was motivated by the belief that the “Islamic world has been tasting [humiliation and degradation] for 80 years” by Western powers (27). For example, Saudi Arabia rejected Osama bin Laden’s offer to deploy his army to defend Saudi Arabia from Saddam Hussein’s invasion; instead, the Saudis sought the protection of the United

A sequence of harmonized suicide-terror attacks planned by terror group al-Qaeda on the United States occurred September 11th , 2001. Four commercial airlines were hijacked that morning, by 19 al -Qaeda terrorists.

and the first US Hijacking was on May 1, 1961 when a florida-bound plane was taken to Cuba (Hijacking, n.p.) Another attack on the twin towers before 9/11 occurred on 2/26/1993 when a bomb was placed in the back of a van and driven to the base of the Twin Towers and exploded, about 6 people were killed, but thousands were injured (Langley, 42).
