Today marks 23 years since the 9/11 attacks in the United States, in which nearly 3,000 people lost their lives.
On September 11, 2001, an act of terrorism took place in the city of New York, USA, which changed the scenario of the world. Airplane attacks on New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania killed thousands.
There were 246 passengers and crew in the four planes that were destroyed in this terrorist incident, none of whom survived. The people who died in these attacks belonged to 77 different countries.
A few hours after the attack, the then-US President George Bush announced the war against terrorism. The United States attacked Afghanistan in the same year, blaming Al-Qaeda
October 7 was the day when the US launched Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. After the 9/11 attacks, Pakistan emerged as America’s most important and frontline ally against terrorism.
While the then Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf opened Pakistani borders for US and NATO supplies against the Afghan Taliban, many Pakistani airports and other military facilities were also given to the US without informing the nation.
It should be noted that at this time a museum has been built at the place of Twin Towers or Ground Zero and tall buildings have been erected around it.
