25 Years Since the September 11 Attacks

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. Nineteen al-Qaeda hijackers seized four passenger aircraft, striking the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon near Washington, while a fourth aircraft crashed in Pennsylvania.

The attacks, orchestrated by al-Qaeda under Osama bin Laden, killed nearly 3,000 people and profoundly reshaped global politics and security. In their aftermath, the United States launched what it called the global “War on Terror,” leading to major military operations and long-term changes in international counterterrorism policy.
