9/11

Most of us remember that on September 11th, 2001 the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four planes with the interntion of flying them in suicide attacks on target buildings. They hit the World Trade Center and caused mass terror, destruction, and death. What most of us do not consider is how creative this act was. This plan was carefully planned and put into operation. It took a lot of thought and work which was a different way to send a message relevent to their cause. Al-Qaeda had objections with American foreign policy in regards to Israel, as well as the American's continued presence in Saudi Arabia after the Gulf War. However misguided we believe the actions of al-Qauda to be, there is no denying the creativity of their terrorist attack.
