Today, September 11, 2021 makes it 20 years since Osama Bin Laden led al-qaeda terrorists hijacked three commercial planes and attacked the World Trade center and the Pentagon killing 2,996 people (2,977 victims + 19 al-Qaeda terrorists) in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The terrorists were trained in Afghanistan when the country was under the Taliban rule, and 20 years after, despite a 20 year war, billions of dollars spent, thousands of US soldiers killed, the country is now back to the Taliban’s rule with even more equipments and armoury under their control.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1—&client=ca-pub-2427099653703778&output=html&h=300&adk=2141876619&adf=667904977&pi=t.aa~a.1834861711~i.11~rp.4&w=360&lmt=1631379545&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4779063894&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2021%2F9%2Fdefining-photos-the-world-will-never-forget-as-us-marks-20th-anniversary-of-911-terrorist-attacks.html&flash=0&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=275&rw=330&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8KfxiQYQ-5uewbiHn8HRARJIAIPNPTjSFDEifv-zc8d69prdkLfE3HFBN_V6OeFvG3la8P4C91xXnggZG8HHqzVHRJS3dxdx4XITaJ2NHlsC3_xH4ZO7XqW8&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOSIsIiIsIkluZmluaXggWDY1MEIiLCI5Mi4wLjQ1MTUuMTE1IixbXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbF0.&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hdHRlc3RhdGlvbi5hbmRyb2lkLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjo3fV0.&dt=1631379545230&bpp=41&bdt=10746&idt=-M&shv=r20210901&mjsv=m202109080101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6f62d75ac2f0c0c6-2251d019a8c80035%3AT%3D1622665487%3ART%3D1622665487%3AS%3DALNI_MZ85Ep3SvTaGfc8Juk8Onrd6Hwi6g&prev_fmts=0x0&nras=2&correlator=7158287461794&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1187515804.1622665486&ga_sid=1631379541&ga_hid=660046079&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=3&u_java=0&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=1108&biw=360&bih=616&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=42530672%2C21065724%2C21067496%2C31062297&oid=3&pvsid=1598784834268765&pem=777&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C616%2C360%2C616&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&alvm=r20210908&fu=1152&bc=31&jar=2021-09-11-08&ifi=2&uci=a!2&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=0yv9EaQpGW&p=https%3A//www.lindaikejisblog.com&dtd=652
