On 11 September 2001, terrorists belonging to the banned terror outfit Al Qaeda launched multiple terror attacks on US soil, killing nearly 3000 people. The terrorists hijacked four planes from three different airports. They crashed two planes into the 110-storey World Trade Center in New York. The third plane hit the side of the Pentagon and the fourth one crashed into a field. The 9/11 attacks, as they are infamously called, led to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
