The September 11, 2001 attacks were carried out by 19 terrorists affiliated with the Islamist extremist group al-Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden. They hijacked four commercial airplanes, crashing two into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and a third into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, while the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to overcome the hijackers. The attacks resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths and prompted significant changes in U.S. domestic and foreign policy, including the initiation of the War on Terror.
