Why? U.S. Government supported bin Laden & his fighters The U.S. gave bin Laden weapons & intelligence to fight against the USSR After the USSR withdraws from Afghanistan, the U.S. cut off bin Laden

Why? Saudi Arabia asked for assistance to protect them from Saddam Hussein In 1990, the U.S. government sent our military to Saudi Arabia The US military was now near Mecca, the holiest place for the Muslim religion.

Why? Osama bin Laden wanted all Western influence out of the Middle East. al Queda wants the religion of Islam to control all governments and vowed revenge after the US brought its military to Saudi Arabia al Queda is not sponsored by a country, but is a separate terrorist organization.

Why? al Qaeda wants a “Holy War” between Muslims & the rest of the world They have carried out terrorist attacks against US and its allies throughout the world

The Response US government decided to respond using its military US military ordered the Taliban in Afghanistan to turn over Osama bin Laden The Taliban refused & the US invaded
