Question

4. As the 9/11 attacks happened, who were some of the key leaders and agencies that played a

role in determining the U.S. response?

Answer 1

Two weeks after 9/11, the Federal Bureau of Investigation connected the hijackers to al-Qaeda, a militant Salafist Islamist multi-national organization. In a number of video, audio, interview and printed statements, senior members of al-Qaeda have also asserted responsibility for organizing the September 11 attacks.
