The first attacks launched on Afghanistan were in response to terrorist attacks on U.S. soil on September 11, which killed nearly 3,000 people. The United States identified Osama bin Laden, and terrorist organization Al Qaeda, as being behind the attacks, and established that the Taliban were harboring bin Laden in Afghanistan. President George W. Bush demanded that bin Laden be turned over to the U.S. That demand was not met, and on October 7, President Bush officially announced the military operations, and discussed intentions of the "war on terrorism".
