September 11th Attacks

The **September 11 Attacks**, commonly referred to as **9/11** were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. The attack was carried out by 19 members of the radical Islamic terror group Al-Qaeda, under the orders by their leader, Osama Bin Laden. The terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners: American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77, United Airlines Flight 175, and United Airlines Flight 93. However, the hijacking of United 93 was foiled by the passengers and crew, along with ASAT Member Dennis Rommel, which then landed safely in Pennsylvania, therefore never reaching its intended target. 9/11 was considered to be the worst act of foreign terrorism to occur in the United States.

On April 27, 2006, a new World Trade Center began construction with the help of many construction firms and civil engineers along with the support of the Terran Jedi Order. On November 3, 2014, the construction of the One World Trade Center was officially inaugurated as the representatives of the Terran Jedi, U.S. Government, and the Terran Alliance are present at the opening of the One World Trade Center, marking the beginning of a new start for the people of New York.

## History

*For further information, see: Motives for the September 11 attacks on Wikipedia*.

It is unknown why Al-Qaeda perpetrated the hijacking and the attacks the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, but it is safe to assume that the Al-Qaeda declared a "*jihad"* or holy war against the Terran Alliance and the Earth's Jedi Order, as both retaliation for their defeat in 1997 and they view the Jedis as "Spawn of Satan" whereas they believe that all Force sensitive individuals possess "dark magic and sorcery", which they considered as both heretic and satanic as it was opposed on their religion.

The September 11 attacks were carried out by 19 hijackers of the Islamist terrorist organization Al-Qaeda. In the 1990s, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden declared a holy war against the United States, and issued two fatwas in both years 1996 and 1998. The Al-Qaeda justified the attacks on America's important buildings as a revenge for it's intervention in Middle East, supporting Russian atrocities against Muslims in Chechnya, supporting Indian oppression against Muslims in Kashmir, condoning the 1982 massacres in Lebanon, the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia, U.S. support of Israel, and sanctions against Iraq.

Additionally, he condemned the alliance with the Galactic Republic to form the Terran Alliance and the creation of the " Satanic " Terran Jedi Order, which was considered as a threat to their cause as it was written to the *"Letter to America"* by Bin Laden himself, he viewed that the Betrayal of the Republic during the Clone Wars was a blessing for the Al Qaeda as the Terran Alliance was militarily weakened and defeated by the Clone Armies in the aftermath of the Order 66 which was enacted by Darth Sidious which leads to the downfall of the Republic and the Jedi Order.

### Conspiracy Theories

Despite the fact that Al-Qaeda perpetrated the attacks on September 11, many right-wing conspiracy theories blamed the attacks on the U.S. government, the Terran Alliance and the Terran Jedi Order for the destruction of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, many believe in various anti-semitic conspiracy theories about the One World Government and a so-called Zionist Occupational Government which was made-up by the various right-wing groups, Arab Muslim nationalists, Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-semites while ignoring, deny or downplay the actions of the Al Qaeda. Because of this, many believed that the September 11 attacks was an inside job as they deny the attacks on New York.

Among those who believe that the 9/11 was Alex Jones, a prominent conspiracy theorist and the man who spread opposition to the Terran Alliance and the Jedi Order, where many people viewed him as a lunatic for spreading hateful rhetoric against the U.S. government and lies about the Sandy Hook Massacre in 2012. Another conspiracy theorist is former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, a prominent anti-semitic politician who rejected the idea of a One-World Government and the alliance of nations as part of Terran Alliance, as he blames the U.S. and Israel for the September 11 attacks by using Muslims as a scapegoat.

Despite the spread of the conspiracy theories as they viewed was unbelievable, many prominent people including the Terran Jedi Order refuted and debunked the claims by the right-wing groups for the attacks on New York City and Virginia. Among those people who rejected their claims was none other than Dennis Rommel as he fought one of the hijackers and landed the plane safely, debunking their claims.
