  • The topic I am reading about is the 9/11 attacks
  • "9/11 Attacks." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 16 Oct. 2015.
  • The central idea of the over view is what happened on the day of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
  • On the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen members of the Islamic extremist group known as al-Qaedaboarded four different commercial passenger planes headed for the West Coast.Using small weapons that had passed through airport security undetected—possibly box-cutters or multi-function hand tools—the hijackers seized control of the four planes and redirected them back toward New York City and the Washington, DC area. 
  • What was the reason for them to attack the World Trade Center? Why did they use passenger planes?
  • State sponsor of terrorism
  • The thing that is preventing me from knowing it is that i  have never heard or seen it before.
  • Someone who believes in terrorism 
  • What is the significance of reading about events like this?
