In 2004 Al-Quaedas leader Osama Bid-Laden fessed up for the responsibitly of the four attaccks. They saw the U.S. support of Israel and also the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, were motives for the attacks.
The United States firedback with the War Of Terror, by going into Afganistan. In May of this year U.S. troops found Bid Landen and killed him.
I dont really remember a whole lot. What i do remember is my momma was dropping me off at my babysitter and right as she did that the first plane hit the tower. I remember looking at everyone around me, very confused at what was happening. Also watching on national telivision the replays of the planes crashing over and over again. One more thing. I rememeber seeing president Bush on t.v. reading to a bunch of kids and someone came in and told him what had happened and he still kept reading to the little kids. Very sad and still fresh in many of our minds. Neber forget. Never surrender. </3 RIP.
