Immediately after the attacks by terrorists on September 11, 2001, on the World Trade Center in New York City and on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., President George W. Bush demanded that the Afghan government arrest and turn over the organizers of the attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 civilians, the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil. Intelligence sources revealed that Osama bin Laden and his Islamic terrorist organization known as al-Qaeda planned and carried out the attacks.
