Question with no answers
“I don’t think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center. (National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice) 45 % of you all thought that the government had something to do with the attacks on September 11, 2001.

Less than a year later he joined American Airlines and within a few months his plane allegedly crashed into the pentagon. On July 24, 2001 Asama Bin Laden wanted by the U.
