The members of NATO refused to support the US after the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks?
Rascal77
No, exactly the opposite. NATO invoked Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty, which obliges all member states to take what action they deem necessary in response to an attack on one of them. This is the only time in NATO's history that this article has ever been invoked.
NATO forces were committed very shortly after the 2001 attacks to Afghanistan as part of that commitment. Many NATO countries still have personnel serving in Afghanistan alongside US troops right now.
Under the treaty, an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all of them.

How is the war in afghanistn connected to the war of terror?
Usama Bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist group Al Queda and mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, was based in Afghanistan. After the September 11th Attacks, there was a policy change that dictated that anyone harboring those who attacked us would not be treated any different than those who did the attack. When the Taliban, the then governing body in Afghanistan, refused to hand over Bin Laden, the US Military was tasked to remove the Taliban and pursue Al Queda. That was the start of the now 9yr war.

Who is Osama bin Laden and what role did he play in the US invasion of Afghanistan?
Osama bin Laden is the leader of a terrorist organization known as al qaeda ("our corner" in Arabic) which planned and executed the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack against the US. Because this attack originated in Afghanistan, and because the government of Afghanistan refused to extradite bin Laden (although they offered to try him themselves, in an Islamic court) NATO took action to bring down the government of Afghanistan and to bring members of al qaeda to justice - although disappointingly, bin Ladin remains at large, almost 9 years later.
