Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The events that led to the United States bombing Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, were the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Explanation:

The 9/11 attacks were a series of concerted terrorist attacks carried out by the Islamist terrorist organization al-Qaeda targeting civilian and military buildings in the United States on September 11, 2001. Four passenger aircraft were hijacked; two of them were flown into the civilian World Trade Center twin towers in Manhattan, New York, the third was flown into the Defense Pentagon headquarters in Virginia, and the fourth crashed in a field outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks killed 2,996, injured over 6,000 people and caused property and infrastructure damage for at least $ 10 billion. The vast majority of casualties were those who died in or near the twin towers, either when they were attacked or raided, this has caused the attacks on the twin towers to receive the most attention by the media.  

The attack is considered the largest terrorist attack in world history and is considered one of the most significant events of modern times in terms of economic, social, political, cultural and military effects in the United States and many other parts of the world. In response to the attacks, the US started the war on terrorism.
