The attacks on September 11, 2001, were a series of four terrorist attacks upon New York City and Washington, D.C. The 19 hijackers were men affiliated with al-Qaeda organized into four teams with a pilot-trained hijacker in each. The first to arrive in the United States was Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, followed by three pilots, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah. The fourth pilot, Hani Hanjour, arrived shortly before the "muscle hijackers."
