The Greatest Hoax In US History Was 9/11 really a terror attack? Many people believe that on September 11th, 2001, terrorists flew two airplanes into the World Trade Center because they “Hate our freedom.” The initial perception fails to take into account the mass amount of evidence that disproves the widely thought occurrence.

The policy that the U.S. had towards Somalia during the Cold War era explained the transition of the U.S.’ policy change from an alliance to using Somalia as a battleground during the War of Terror.
