Osama Ben Ladin used Afghanistan as a training center for his Al Qaida terrorist movement. The Al Qaida hijacked four American airplanes and crashed two of them into the World Trade Center, One of them into the Pentagon, and the one intended for the White House into a farmer's field.
The United States asked the government of Afghanistan, The Taliban, to turn over Osama and stop training Al Qaida. The Taliban said, "No." At that point the United States invaded Afghanistan.
