The U.S. response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 was to launch a military campaign in Afghanistan to hunt down and overthrow the Taliban regime, which was harboring terrorist group al-Qaeda responsible for the attacks. This military campaign was known as Operation Enduring Freedom. Additionally, the U.S. government passed the USA PATRIOT Act, which expanded the government's authority to combat terrorism through surveillance and law enforcement measures.
