Question

How far the US attack on Iraq was justified in the wake of terrorist attack on World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001

Answer 1

A timeline of the U.S. -Led war on terror

As much of the nation was just starting the day on the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists hijacked four East Coast flights, crashing three of the airplanes into targets in New York and Washington, D.C., with the fourth plane slamming into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers fought back.

In the end, 2,977 people died, making it the deadliest attack on U.S. soil in history.

The al Qaeda-led attacks prompted President George W. Bush to declare a global “War on Terror” military campaign, in which he called on world leaders to join the U.S. in its response.
