What were the causes and effects of September 11th?

The terrorists were believed to be pro-Islamist, anti-US groups who felt that it was their religious calling to kill Americans and themselves as a political statement. The ultimate source of their support was with Al Qaeda, a worldwide terrorist organization, and its leaders, including Osama bin Laden.As a result of the attacks, the US adminstration of George W. Bush established a policy of pursuing terrorists worldwide (the War on Terror), and created a new cabinet-level agency, the Department of Homeland Security. Under the Patriot Act (2001) federal intelligence and law-enforcement agencies were given broad powers in conducting counter-terrorism activities.In part because of their connection (or perceived connection) to terrorists, the Taliban government of Afghanistan was attacked and deposed, and the Iraq government of Saddam Hussein was overthrown by US forces in 2003. Many enemy combatants from these actions continued to be imprisoned, some convicted by military tribunals as terrorists.* Osama bin Laden was killed by US Navy Seals on May 2, 2011 in a CIA attack on a residence in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
