Question: what is the biggest terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group that bush says the war on Terror began with against who won the battle?

these attacks resonated with conservative muslims and the problem did not go away with saddam's defeat either, since american troops remained stationed in the kingdom, and a de facto cooperation with the palestinian-israeli peace process developed. saudi arabia attempted to compensate for its loss of prestige among these groups by repressing those domestic islamists who attacked it (bin laden being a prime example), and increasing aid to islamic groups (islamist madrassas around the world and even aiding some violent islamist groups) that did not, but its pre-war influence on behalf of moderation was greatly reduced. one result of this was a campaign of attacks on government officials and tourists in egypt, a bloody civil war in algeria and osama bin laden's terror attacks climaxing in the 9/11 attack. <SEP> Journalist Yosri Fouda of the Arabic television channel Al Jazeera reported that in April 2002 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed admitted his involvement in the attacks, along with Ramzi bin al-Shibh. The 9/11 Commission Report determined that the animosity towards the United States felt by Mohammed, the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks, stemmed from his "violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel". Mohammed was also an adviser and financier of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the uncle of Ramzi Yousef, the lead bomber in that attack.Mohammed was arrested on March 1, 2003, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, by Pakistani security officials working with the CIA. He was then held at multiple CIA secret prisons and Guantanamo Bay where he was interrogated and tortured with methods including waterboarding. During U.S. hearings at Guantanamo Bay in March 2007, Mohammed again confessed his responsibility for the attacks, stating he "was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z" and that his statement was not made under duress. <SEP> Although President José Mariano Paredes's issuance of a manifesto on May 23 is sometimes considered the declaration of war, Mexico officially declared war by Congress on July 7. After the American invasion of New Mexico, Chihuahua sent 12,000 men led by Colonel Vidal to the border to stop the American military advance into the state. The Mexican forces being impatient to confront the American forces passed beyond El Paso del Norte about 20 miles (32 km) north along the Rio Grande. The first battle that Chihuahua fought was the battle of El Bracito; the Mexican forces consisting of 500 cavalry and 70 infantry confronted a force of 1,100–1,200 Americans on December 25, 1846. The battle ended badly by the Mexican forces that were then forced to retreat back into the state of Chihuahua. By December 27, 1846, the American forces occupied El Paso Del Norte. The United States Congress declared war on Mexico on May 13, 1846 after only having a few hours to debate. General Doniphan maintained camp in El Paso Del Norte awaiting supplies and artillery which he received in February 1847. <SEP> On 16 September 2001, at Camp David, President George W. Bush used the phrase war on terrorism in an unscripted and controversial comment when he said, "This crusade – this war on terrorism – is going to take a while, ... " Bush later apologized for this remark due to the negative connotations the term crusade has to people, e.g. of Muslim faith. The word crusade was not used again. On 20 September 2001, during a televised address to a joint session of congress, Bush stated that, "(o)ur 'war on terror' begins with al-Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated." <SEP> other critics, such as francis fukuyama, note that "terrorism" is not an enemy, but a tactic; calling it a "war on terror", obscures differences between conflicts such as anti-occupation insurgents and international mujahideen. with a military presence in iraq and afghanistan and its associated collateral damage shirley williams maintains this increases resentment and terrorist threats against the west. there is also perceived u.s. hypocrisy, media-induced hysteria, and that differences in foreign and security policy have damaged america's image in most of the world.
