Afghanistan was closely linked to the 9/11 attacks primarily because al-Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible for the attacks, was based there and received support from the Taliban government. After the attacks, the U.S. launched military operations in Afghanistan to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power, marking the beginning of a prolonged conflict in the region. The U.S. government's justification for this intervention was rooted in the Taliban's refusal to extradite al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who orchestrated the attacks.
In May 2022, US special forces killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaeda, in a drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan. Zawahiri had been a key figure in the organization since the September 11 attacks and took over its leadership after the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011. His elimination was a significant moment in the US's ongoing efforts to combat terrorism.

It was believed that a terrorist leader named Osama Bin Laden was using Afghanistan's instability as a way to stay hidden. The United States' initial goal when deploying soldiers to Afghanistan was to capture Osama Bin Laden and destroy the terrorist group he belonged to (Al Qaeda).
The terrorist group led by Osama bin Laden is al-Qaeda. Founded in the late 1980s, al-Qaeda aims to establish a global Islamic caliphate and is known for orchestrating numerous high-profile attacks, including the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. Bin Laden remained the group's leader until he was killed by U.S. forces in 2011.
