What happened prior to September 11th?

The terrorists planned for an attack on a bunch of fronts, but in the end they were only prepared to attack the World Trade towers, the Pentagon, and the White House. Some information that wasn't reliable (but true) was lost in the shuffle and then the twin towers were hit by two planes. The attack on the Pentagon only partly succeeded and the White House plane crashed in Pennsylvania. The NSA and CIA had information that an attack was coming, but were forbidden by federal law from sharing that intelligence with the FBI. Various conspiracy theorists point to discrepancies in how officials responded, and how they said they responded. Uncertainty remains over the full extent of the September 11th attacks, and their role in the long-term plans of Islamist extremist groups such as Al Qaeda.
