Who did this! No one knows the names of the bombers but we do know that they were part of a terrorist group called Al-Qaida lead by Osama bin laden. Even before 9.11 he was in the top ten most wanted list, now that isn't something to be proud of. Osama Bin Laden was killed in a helicopter raid on a mansion in an area north of the Pakistani capital.
