The war in Afghanistan in 2001 was primarily triggered by the September 11 terrorist attacks, orchestrated by al-Qaeda, which was hosted by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. The U.S. government demanded that the Taliban hand over al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, but the Taliban refused. In response, the U.S. launched Operation Enduring Freedom on October 7, 2001, aiming to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power. This military intervention marked the beginning of a prolonged conflict in the region.
