September 11, 2001 is not just another date on the calendar. When 19 al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against various targets in the United States, the magnitude of the aggression left everyone on this planet horror-stuck. The incident, commonly remembered as 9/11, soon became a catchword of global terrorism. Although the mastermind of the gruesome attacks, Osama bin Laden, is dead, the US is still grappling to kill the ideology that continues to manifest in its different mutated forms across the globe. |
