3. History of Taliban- the government of Afghanistan that led to much terrorism. We have been fighting the taliban to try to make Afghanistan a safer place.

This is partially becaus we have always supported Israel.
5. History of Osama bin Laden- Home country is Saudi Arabia. He was well educated and went to college. his family was very rich. He tried to make it look like the U.S. was trying to take over the Middle East. When he was found in his compound there was a firefight to kill him. He was buried at sea in Afghanistan so that the body couldn't be recovered and so that the Islamic people did not believe that we were making a mockery of the body.
6. 9-11(what happened, why did it happen)- Commercial aircraft were hijacked by terrorist and flown into the World trade center buildings.
