Al-Qaeda

Two of the planes were ran into the towers of the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside of Washington, D.C.

The Al Qaeda Effect. How Al Qaeda influenced Homeland Security. Joseph Haag Columbia Southern University It is difficult to go anywhere where the Al Qaeda terrorist group is not known. While terrorist groups have been traditionally been known to influence, inhabit, and operate in areas of the Middle East.

Planning to establish Al-Qaeda had began in Saudi Arabia at the beginning of the nineties of the last century, and it was remarkable there were some operations of Al-Qaeda organization before actually inception., such as: • In 1995, car bomb attack on Vinnell Corporation Office led to the deaths of six people, including five Americans. • In 1996, The building is inhabited by US soldiers in Khobar as a result 19 dead and about 500 wounded, that was a coordination between al-Qaida and the Saudi Shiite

Al Qaeda has been more than willing to share their basic ideological vision with the world since the religious group was founded. While many aspects of the documents released are very straightforward and to the point, it is blurred what the intended audience is. It wasn’t until the release date of the second declaration of jihad, in 1998, that any western power was the intended audience.

It started out as a radical, Islamic terrorist group by the name of al-Qaeda in Iraq which was created by a criminal known as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. However, al-Qaeda in Iraq soon grew more powerful over the years, eventually becoming the Islamic State of Iraq. This group, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, would soon become the atrocity

inflicted upon the US by a terrorist organization called Al Qaeda. Throughout this paper I will discuss the missed opportunities to bring down Al Qaeda. President Bill Clinton was sworn into office on January 20th ,1993 and served as President until January 20th 2001. During this time President Clinton was faced with many obstacles including the rise of Al Qaeda. More specifically the rise of Bin Laden, Osama Bin Laden was the leader of Al Qaeda and the mastermind of countless terrorist attacks. Bin

In my opinion I argue that U.S. policy and practice indeed has placed too much emphasis on fighting al Qaeda, to the point that we still see today how it has negatively impacted our economic infrastructure and global presence, rather than managing the broader issues of terrorism. Although it was only natural that the American government would retaliate after the event that was 9/11, the combined losses of lives, finances, and other resources and human rights violations caused by continuous investment
