911 Memorials
Suspicion for the attack quickly fell on al-Qaeda. The United States responded to the attacks by launching the war and terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which had harbored al-Qaeda. Many countries strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded the powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent terrorist attacks. Although al-Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden, initially denied any involvement, in 2004, he claimed responsibility for the attacks Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives. Having evaded capture for almost a decade,he was located and killed my members of the United States military in May 2011.
Reflection: My thought are why would they want to do all these types of things? Especially why would they want to take lives away when they know everyone has family and children to support but they didn't think about that. Its sad how terrorist think and react to things. They should also get in our position and imagine themselves what would happen if that was them. 911 is a day to remember everywhere and give our blessings to all the families and people who died. We all take a moment of silence to remember the people who died. We all get sad over this because it happened so fast and a lot of lives were taking away that day, a lot of families were torn apart. Little kids were left without a dad or a mom. This day everyone focuses on 911 and give respect to the ones who died. My first memory of it was when i turned 5 my mom told me about it. When the 911 attack was happening I was only 8 months.
