September 11 attacks

September 11, 2001: 19 militants associated with Al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist group, hijacked four commercial airliners headed for Los Angeles and San Francisco. The hijackers took over the planes, crashing two into the World Trade Center in NYC, one into the Pentagon in Virginia, and another one into an empty field in Pennsylvania. None these planes were found with survivors; around 2,996 deaths altogether. Think that’s the worst of it? What about the 4 million muslims who unwillingly died in…

Criminal justice has been altered in many ways as we have grown into the country we are today. It started off a bit rough but that was because it was the beginning of how everything was going to work out in the end. Today, there are still some patches that are being improved but not nearly as many from when we started. Criminal justice in early America was when it all began. Americans had just come from overseas and much of how they dealt with issues were based off of what country they had…

Before 9/11 September 11, 2001 is a day no one will ever be able to forget. America's most devastating tragedy occurred that day. Exactly 2,996 people were killed; including 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, 265 on all four planes, 2,606 in the World Trade Center, and 125 in the Pentagon. You might be asking yourself how someone could do such a thing. The mastermind behind these horrible events is known as Osama Bin Laden, the leader of the Islamic extremist group Al Qaeda. Though the…

On November 27th, François Hollande and its government gave a national homage to the victims of November 13th attacks in Paris. A certain number of analysts, scholars, and journalists have claimed, sometimes in an oversimplifying manner, that the events, killing 130 individuals and wounding 413 others, were the “French 9/11”. Clearly, this claim needs to be qualified on various levels: not only were they caused by a different terrorist organisation, Daesh, but they also occurred in a different…

Al-Qaeda is a largely organized terrorist group whose terroristic activities continue to occur all over the world affecting all nations that have experienced and suffered through one or more of their horrific attacks. Osama bin Laden was the one who started this group with the goal of joining the Muslims and Arabs with a common belief and the same ideas. He began this group of terrorists with the purpose of alleviating the Soviet Union from invading. His thought process of conquering leadership…

After the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda outdone the government to be the world 's most obnoxious terrorist organization. Al-Qaeda means “the base" in Arabic and the amount of terrorists are ordered by Osama bin Laden. In addition, Osama bin Laden was killed in a united action by the U.S. army in May 2011 (Hayes, L., & Brunner, B.).However, people believed that this group will be encouraged to look for a revenge from this incident, whereas others questioned if they will…

Drone Strikes Foster New Enemies Since September 11, 2001, The United States has been using drones strikes against the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and other terrorist groups. The Constitution requires that the government must go through a due process before making the decision of killing someone. Drone strikes are usually based on doubtful information, which ends up taking the life of innocent civilians. Civilians living in the Middle East are being killed because of mistaken identity, or for just…

first. White smoke, debris, and human bodies start failing from the sky. What started out as a normal Tuesday morning turned into a day that will be remembered in every American’s heart, and that date is September 11th, 2001. On October 1st, 2001, Johnathan Schell uses the past month’s event of 9/11 to heighten his talk about nuclear warfare. This article, “A Hole in the World”, was published in The Nation shortly after, so he uses that emotion and logic to persuade Americans to change their…

Prior to 9/11 the idea that Osama bin Laden and his terrorist group al ‘Qaeda could devise and carry out such a devastating attack on the United States was almost unthinkable. However, we know now that the United States severely underestimated bin Laden’s declaration of holy war on the U.S in 1991. Despite the U.S having knowledge about threats made by al ‘Qaeda, they were able to follow through with their plan that fateful day and the U.S learned just how serious and dangerous al ‘Qaeda could…

tragic terrorist attacks to take place in the United States occurred on September 11, 2001. Days after these attacks, the standing president at the time, George Bush, declared that he was on a new mission to fight back against terrorism (“The War,” 2018). Since then, various laws and regulations have been put in place to help provide a feeling of security to American Society. Moreover, to aid in the relief efforts that follow events that are considered emergencies, such as terrorist attacks and…
