The White House was targeted on September 11, 2001, as part of a coordinated terrorist attack orchestrated by the extremist group al-Qaeda. The attackers aimed to strike key symbols of American power and influence, including the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. Although United Airlines Flight 93, which was also hijacked, was believed to be headed for the White House, passengers intervened, leading to the plane crashing in Pennsylvania instead. The attacks were motivated by a range of grievances against U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
