When was the Last Terrorist attack against Jordan?

How many female firefighters died on 911?
The number of female firefighters in the New York City Fire Dept. is very low. Until 1977, women were not allowed to apply for jobs as firefighters in New York City and it wasn't until1982 that women finally passed the physical exam. Even after legal requirements were established and met, for many years it was made extremely difficult for a qualified women to endure the resentment and discrimination that they met with on the job. Many of the male firefighters and New York City residents did not want women in the department. To quote Capt. Brenda Berkman, one of the first women to get a job in the NYFD, "The idea that men hated me so much that they might leave me in a burning building by myself, that they drained my air tank, that they phoned death threats to my house, that they followed me around on the street and threatened me---that was scary."
Although times have changed in those 28 years since Brenda Berkman fought for her job, the number of women firefighters is still extremely low. 343 firefighters died in the attacks on 911 but the fire department does not record the numbers by gender. So, I invite you to read the list of the 343 and find that number yourself on the link below. The gender of those who died is irrelevant, it makes their sacrifice on that day no more or less valiant.
What time did the planes hit the WTC and how many planes were there?
Two planes crashed into the Twin Towers. American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 and United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower at 9:03.
Another plane, American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon at 9:37.
A final plane, United Airlines Flight 93 ploughed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after the passengers stormed the cockpit.
Was a mosque located in The World Trade Center before 911 happened?
The planned Islamic community centre will be two blocks from 'Ground Zero', further from the site than one already existing nearby.
As to why in that part of the city: because it is the people in that part of the city who want it built, and that happens to be the site they have obtained for building the centre on.

What religion were the terrorists of September 11th?
The 19 hijackers who coordinated the attacks of September 11th were Wahhabi Muslims. While there is much debate on whether or not the attacks were in accord with the values of Islam, what is not debated is that these hijackers sincerely believed that what they were doing was Islamically mandated.
Was September 11 an inside job?
Yes. Al Qaeda conspired to attack America (and other nations; a World Trade Center will not just have Americans in it). There is no shred of proof that anyone else, for example George Bush, was involved in this. Bush knew that terrorists would like to fly planes into towers, a scenario going back at least as far as "Escape from New York", but had no actionable evidence as to, for example, which planes, on which days, with which people. The only thing Bush could have done with the available evidence, is shut down all air traffic forever.
-----------------------------------
Yes, on the part of Al Qaeda and other groups opposed to the US.
The conspiracy hypothesis (theories have evidence; "Truthers" can only make up or misinterpret evidence) is that the United States wanted to invade Iraq and Afghanistan but the public didn't. To increase the number of people that wanted to, the United States mastered a scheme that blew up the World Trade Centers, killing thousands of people.
The other version of this is that the U.S. didn't make it happen, but learned of it and didn't stop it.
And then there is the evidence-based answer... Al Qaeda conspired to do it, and not enough info leaked into the right hands quickly enough to do anything about it. AQ freely admits they did it. And while the government knew that terrorists would like to crash planes into towers, they didn't have any actionable information (to know which flights to stop) so their only option would be to shut down all flights forever. Remember, all Afghanistan had to do to short-circuit the process is turn over Bin Ladin. And all Iraq had to do was stop shooting at our planes and jerking us around when it came to inspections. Their psychwar campaign to make everyone think they were concealing WMDs worked all too well. Remember, in large part, the Intel we acted on came from the Clinton administration, so clearly the psychwar campaign worked on them too. And as far as the "towers blew up" bit, find me a company that destroys tall buildings that thinks the Towers were a controlled demolition.
Yes, a small group of Osama Bin Laden's followers conspired to attack the United States with the support of Al Qaeda. They did exactly that.
The various conspiracy theories mostly involve the US government, foreign intelligence agencies, and schemes by Israel and other countries. None of the theories has much more than oddities, discrepancies, hearsay, or innuendo to support them. Nonetheless, as with all notable historical events, theories and rumors will likely persist due to the lack of indisputable testimony, i.e. from the (deceased) planners themselves.
The major reason that the deaths were counted in the hundreds and thousands is the destruction of escape routes from above the plane impact points. This was especially true in the North Tower, where no one from above the 98th floor successfully got out.
What individuals was involved in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center?
The following were the ones who brought out the attack: Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal A. Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin and Ahmad Ajaj. The attack was financed by Khaled Sheikh Mohammed.
What time was it when the first plane hit the North Tower?
in 1993
Added: It was hit at exactly 8:46 AM - the second tower was struck at exactly 9:02 AM
No, he was not behind this attack.
Unlike many conspirators think, he is not behind everything wrong in the world.
Look at the lack of evidence that was involved, and the major support that he was NOT involved.
Honestly, GWB isn't behind everything that happens in the world.
Geez.
September 11th Attack on America
On September 11, 2001, there was an attack on America.
There are some men that decided that they didn't like what America stands for: freedom, liberty, and the rights of men and women of all races, backgrounds, and beliefs. So on the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 of them hijacked four planes and attacked America in a terrible way.
Two of the airplanes were crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane was crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The last plane was going to crash into another building in Washington, D.C., but the passengers stopped the hijackers, and the plane crashed into a field instead.
The World Trade Center skyscrapers collapsed. Thousands of people lost their lives through these attacks. Hundreds of people were on the planes. Thousands died in the buildings that were hit by those planes.
The men that arranged this terrible attack want Americans to feel afraid and disorganized. They want to make people who live in this country do what they say by threatening us. Basically they're bullies who want everyone to live their way and be subject to their rules.
The people of the United States are a strong group of people. Keep faith in who you are and what our country stands for and we will become even stronger than before.
The members of NATO refused to support the US after the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks?
No, exactly the opposite. NATO invoked Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty, which obliges all member states to take what action they deem necessary in response to an attack on one of them. This is the only time in NATO's history that this article has ever been invoked.
NATO forces were committed very shortly after the 2001 attacks to Afghanistan as part of that commitment. Many NATO countries still have personnel serving in Afghanistan alongside US troops right now.
Under the treaty, an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all of them.
Several US-based airliners were taken over by terrorists. One flight was flown into The Twin Towers in New York City. Another hit The Pentagon in Washington DC. A flight they believe was heading for the White House was put into the ground in Pennsylvania when passengers fought back.
On September 11th 2001, The World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists who had hijacked two jets and flown them in to the towers. North and South tower collapsed followed by wtc 7 at about 4:30 that evening.
At the same time another jet hit the pentagon building but they managed to save it from collapsing.
Another jet also hijacked crashed in a Field when the staff and passengers tried to regain control.
In all 2,792 people died (not including peoples remains) altogether about 4,000 died
