UC Irvine Why Did AQ Target the US with Attacks Questions
I’m stuck on a Social Science question and need an explanation.
Discussion Questions (Please answer all questions if you are writing a memo):
1. On September 11, 2001, nineteen members of al Qa’ida carried out a coordinated attack on New York City and Washington D.C. Why did AQ target the U.S. with attacks?
2. What did AQ hope to achieve?
3. Why did they launch it in September 2001 as opposed to another time?
4. Was the attack successful? Of so, why? If not, why not?
