The book relates that the attacks began to be prepared five years before committing them, when Al Qaeda managed to settle in Afghanistan and that the goal was to drag the United States into a long war of attrition
The idea for the attacks arose when an Egyptian pilot planned to crash a civil plane with thousands of liters of fuel against “an important and symbolic American building”, explains the text, published by the communication section of Al Qaeda, As Sahab.
Some jihadists then underwent special combat training in 1998 and were later enrolled in flight schools in cities around the world. Finally, on September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda militiamen hijacked four civilian planes in different parts of the United States.
Two of them were crashed into each of the Twin Towers of New Yorkanother crashed into the Pentagon, headquarters of the Department of Defense, and the last crashed into Pennsylvania after the passengers subdued the hijackers to prevent a new attack.
Those attacks triggered the invasion of afghanistan and what the United States, under the administration of George W Bush called “war on terrorism”.
The leader of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Ladenwas killed in a US military operation in Pakistan in 2011 during the presidency of Barack Obama and his successor, Ayman al-Zawahiridied on July 31 in an attack by an American drone in Kabulthe Afghan capital.
