We sent money and weapons to the Mujahaeden in 1979, because the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The Mujahaeden turned into the Taliban and eventually Al-Qaeda(1988) in Afghanistan which is who invaded us on 9/11.
In 1993 Al-Qaeda tried to take down the World Trade Center witha car bomb at the base of the tower. Al-Qaeda also attacked the SS Cole.
What we did- We went to war in afghanistan on Oct. 7th. took down the Taliban.
