At about 8:50 a.m. on September 11, 2001, George W. Bush was attending a propaganda activity at an elementary school in Florida. On campus, teachers and students were smiling and welcoming George W. Bush.
George W. Bush waved happily and then stepped into a class to prepare for a demonstration reading class. However, at this moment, the White House Chief of Staff Andrew Calder hurried over and whispered a few words.
George W. Bush's face suddenly froze, and his expression changed from joy to shock and panic.
After Bush Jr. calmed down a little, he boarded Air Force No. 1 plane. The reason was that Caddell had told him that the World Trade Towers had been hijacked and that the country was under attack.
Two days later, the United States** designated al-Qaeda leader Osama. Root. Osama bin Laden was the prime suspect in the attack. Since then, the United States has launched a decade-long pursuit of bin Laden.
So, how did bin Laden evade the pursuit of the United States again and again in the past decade? How did he spend the last days of his life? How was his hiding place discovered?
The world's only superpower, the United States, has always led the world in aviation, with hundreds of planes flying over the United States every day, carrying passengers of all colors, colors and purposes from all over the world.
Between 23 April and 29 June 2001, 13 passengers arrived in the United States by air. Their identities are special, some are war doctors, some are mercenaries, and some are pilots, and in order to pass the customs, they can only use fake passports to deceive the trust of customs.
After entering the United States, with the help of 6 companions, they dispersed to 8 states in the United States and began to live as ordinary people.
19 people rented apartments, opened bank accounts, joined health clubs, and even bought ** car driver's licenses. Their lives may seem uneventful, but they are extremely careful and flawless.
Until the morning of September 11, they divided into four groups and boarded four airliners. During the flight, they controlled the planes at breakneck speed, piloting them into landmarks in New York and Washington.
This is how the horror that shocked the world happened, and their careful planning and execution made people unpredictable.
9.The terrorist attacks of the 11 Incident wreaked havoc in New York, and in an instant, the peaceful city was torn apart, the buildings collapsed, the flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke filled the air.
People were overwhelmed by the sudden loud noise, and when they looked up, the dust was overwhelming, and the debris from the impact was falling like rain. People panicked, you pushed me, screamed incessantly.
Due to the high impact height, the people upstairs could not escape the scorching heat, and some even jumped from a height of 100 meters, which was like hell. Also twenty minutes later, the Pentagon in Arlington County, southwest of Washington, was also subjected to a terrorist attack, killing the people on board the plane and Pentagon officers.
This terrorist attack has brought shocks and grief that people will never forget.
9.11 incident, this sudden terrorist attack plunged the United States into a panic. At that time, Bush Jr. declared that the United States had entered a wartime state, and if there was another passenger plane that did not listen to advice, it would be shot down.
However, in this tense moment, there was still a plane hovering in the air. Unlike the other three, the passengers and crew of this plane showed their wisdom and courage to work together to knock down the robbers.
In the process of snatching, they forced the plane, which was supposed to crash into the U.S. Capitol, straight to the ground, eventually crashing in the Pennsylvania countryside. The incident attracted widespread global attention because, as the only superpower at the time, the continental United States was almost never attacked.
George W. Bush will"9.11 events"'s severity level was raised to the same level as Pearl Harbor. In a televised speech, we promise that no matter who the enemy is, we will make them pay.
Two days later, it was announced that the mastermind behind the incident had been found and a press conference was held. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell announced that Osama bin Laden had been identified as the prime suspect in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
He stressed that combating terrorism and al-Qaeda is the common responsibility of all countries in the world, and the United States will take action to retaliate against Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, completely eliminate terrorist forces in Afghanistan and the Iran-Iraq region, and give an explanation to the American people.
Immediately after announcing the roundup of bin Laden, the United States sent special forces to Afghanistan to find and eliminate bin Laden. At the same time, the United States issued a serious warning to Afghanistan, saying that if there is an act of covering up bin Laden, it will be subject to the most severe sanctions by the United States.
The United States is so angry not only because of the large number of ** caused by this attack, but also because Americans believe that their authority has been challenged. At that time, it was in the first era of American development, the Cold War pattern had just ended ten years, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and other countries were still weak except for the allies cultivated by China and the United States.
And at that time, China did not develop as fast as it is now, and the arrogant Americans did not pay attention to it at all.
They think they are the center of the world and have supreme power, but suddenly a force that dares to challenge them and attacks the United States violently, like a slap in the face, makes them angry.
The most difficult thing for them to accept is that the mastermind behind this is actually bin Laden, who they once supported, a "rich second generation" from a wealthy Saudi businessman family.
The United States, after the end of the war, tried to replace the Soviet Union in the Middle East and even sent troops to Saudi Arabia. This made bin Laden feel deceived and therefore turned his attention to the United States.
Despite the fact that the demise of the USSR pleased the United States, they did not forget about this"Betrayal"Their *** So, starting in the mid-to-late 90s, the United States sent special forces to carry out several attacks on bin Laden's al-Qaeda.
After successfully killing some of Al-Qaeda's top leaders, bin Laden fled again from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan to seek refuge and assistance from the Taliban. "9.11 events"After the incident, the United States stepped up the pursuit of bin Laden, and even sent a large number of troops to Afghanistan to wage a war on terror, claiming that it would not withdraw unless bin Laden was caught.
This is a clear indication that, in addition to retaliating against bin Laden, the United States also wants to consolidate its position in the Middle East in this way.
The day after bin Laden's statement, the Afghan Taliban explained that the terrorist attack was not Osama bin Laden's fault, which in the eyes of the United States was just a stopgap measure to stall for time and help bin Laden escape.
Moreover, it is also their concern that their own power may be dispersed by the United States. When U.S. troops arrived, bin Laden hid for the first five years in a secret home of his father-in-law, Omar.
The elusive-to-find home in the mountains of northern Afghanistan, combined with bin Laden's disguise, shaved off his most conspicuous long beard and dressed as a civilian, made him look like the average Afghan.
Under the fierce offensive of the US military, the Taliban's sphere of influence gradually shrank, but no trace of bin Laden was found. They began to search the mountains to the north, and at this juncture, bin Laden decided to move his hiding place, eventually settling on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Wanted by the United States and the United Nations, Osama bin Laden, the leader, skillfully used al-Qaeda's cronies to forge identity documents and successfully infiltrate Pakistan.
In this remote town, he and his family moved into a white mansion that looked like the ordinary residents around it, but it was much larger. However, the owner of this mansion is a "demon king" who is feared by the whole world.
Due to the intense search by the U.S. military, bin Laden hardly had any chance of going out, spending most of his time at home.
In his spare time, movie enthusiast Osama bin Laden is passionate about hundreds of DVDs, including many Hollywood action blockbusters. To avoid the risks associated with buying food, he and his wives grow food in the yard and cook for themselves.
Those who don't know his true identity may think that this is an ordinary farmer. In this way, he spent five years in an extremely cautious lifestyle, which also left the United States ** with nothing for a decade.
The U.S. side has intelligence and has finally found bin Laden's hiding place. After covert reconnaissance and detailed strategic arrangements, U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 successfully raided a white mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in the early hours of May 1, 2011, killing bin Laden.
As the light was too dim to discern bin Laden's exact location, the members of Detachment 6 decided to approach him disguised as guards. As they approached the door, they knocked softly.
Just then, bin Laden's fourth wife pressed the light switch in a half-asleep dream. The people in the house instantly shouted: "Don't turn on the lights!" It's the Americans! But it was too late, and the moment the lights came on, the players quickly locked on bin Laden's position.
Then, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and bin Laden, who had been hiding for ten years, was shot several times before being beaten into a sieve.
The U.S. Navy SEALs, who had been lurking in the Middle East for more than 20 years, mysteriously disappeared and finally ended their lives under the U.S. assault rifles. The day after bin Laden's death, his body was sent to the North Arabian Sea by a U.S. aircraft carrier for burial, and as the coffin sank to the bottom of the sea, bin Laden's sins dissipated and drifted away.
