The planning for the September 11 attacks was a long process involving several pro-Islamist anti-US factions. Funding sources came from several Middle East groups with ties to world terrorism and other terrorist attacks. Notably this included the "Al Qaeda" and its Taliban supporters in Afghanistan.

Information strongly suggests that the aircraft suicide squads were led by al-Qaeda military commander Mohammed Atta, with Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and Hambali as the key planners.

Messages issued by bin Laden after September 11, 2001, praised the attacks, and explained their motivation but denied any direct involvement. This denial was contrary to many facts uncovered by intelligence agencies in the aftermath of the attacks.
