Following the 9/11 attacks President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden. They refused to do so without proof that he had been involved, although they did recommend that he leave the country. However he did not and the US launched Operation Enduring Freedom along with the United Kingdom.
