Um...I'm fairly sure that the Taliban had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, or if they did it was a very small...or very large but unknown...part they played.

The 9/11 attacks were primarily orchestrated by Al Qaeda and its leader, namely Osama bin Laden. The attacks were designed to place America in a state of fear and disarray, the targets having been selected according to their value to the American populace.

The World Trade Center was one of the "crown jewels" of present-day America, one of the busiest and successful facilities of its kind in the world. By destroying them, Al Qaeda struck terror into the hearts of the New Yorkers, dealt blows to countless families and businesses, and also disadvantaged the economy.

The Pentagon was a target for obvious reasons: For one, it's the main base of operations for all of America's major Defence programs and forces. Two, it contained huge amounts of valuable data, resources and of course, people, much of which Al Qaeda presumably hoped would be destroyed.

Finally, Washington D.C. was also an original target, presumably due to its political importance. However, due to the incredible bravery and determination of the passengers aboard the rogue plane United Airlines 93, the terrorists hijacking the commercial aircraft lost control and crashed in Pennsylvania. All people on board were killed.

The 9/11 attacks were a tremendous flurry of blows that struck to the core of the USA...but it is generally not thought that the Taliban had much to do with it all. Some conspiracy theorists speculate otherwise, but until evidence is found...or acquired...we can never be quite sure.

How if Afghanistan related to the attacks on 9-11?

Afghanistan was closely linked to the 9/11 attacks primarily because al-Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible for the attacks, was based there and received support from the Taliban government. After the attacks, the U.S. launched military operations in Afghanistan to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power, marking the beginning of a prolonged conflict in the region. The U.S. government's justification for this intervention was rooted in the Taliban's refusal to extradite al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who orchestrated the attacks.
