On September 11th, 2001 the terrorist group Al Qaeda hijacked four civilian airliners and used them to attack the United States.\xa0 Two planes were deliberately flown into and destroyed New York\u2019s World Trade Center; another plane was flown into the Pentagon; and the fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.\xa0 It appears the fourth plane was headed to attack another target in Washington, DC but crashed early when the passengers tried to take back control.\xa0 These four attacks killed 2,977 people in addition to the nineteen hijackers.\xa0 That evening, President George W. Bush addressed the nation.\xa0 He said, \u201cThe search is underway for those who were behind these evil acts. I have directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice.\u201d\xa0 Nine days later in a speech to Congress, President Bush said, \u201cThe evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as Al Qaeda\u201d, as being responsible for the September 11th attacks.\xa0 He went on to name Osama Bin Laden as the leader of Al Qaeda and said, \u201cOur was on terror begins with Al Qaeda.\u201d\xa0 It took about ten years but the United States found Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan.\xa0 On May 2nd, 2011 the United States military conducted a raid on Osama Bin Laden\u2019s compound and killed him.\xa0 One of the people who participated in that raid and witnessed Bin Laden\u2019s death was a Navy SEAL whose pen name is Mark Owen.\xa0 Owen\u2019s memoir \u201cNo Easy Day\u201d tells the story of the decade he and his teammates spent fighting America\u2019s War on Terror.
