terrorism

On September 11th, 2001, terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center in New York, a plane into the pentagon, and attempted to crash a plane into the white house.  Thousands where killed, and we are still rebuilding after the damage.  It was discovered that the terrorists where radical Arab muslims that belonged to a group called Al Queada, based in Saudi Arabia.  They where driven to attack the U.S by a hatred of the West and non-muslims.  The U.S government launched a "War against terror" to root out and stop the people that had attacked our country.  Even today that war still continues, with fighting in Afganistan and the continiung search for Osama Bin Laden, the financial leader of Al Quaedea.
