The United States believed that al-Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, was led by Osama bin Laden, who had ties to Afghanistan. At the time, the Taliban was the ruling regime in Afghanistan, and the U.S. government accused the Taliban of providing a safe haven for al-Qaeda and its leader. The attacks were carried out by 19 terrorists associated with al-Qaeda and were part of a coordinated effort to target major U.S. landmarks. The U.S. response to the attacks included military action in Afghanistan to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power.
