After the September 11 attacks, the United States wanted to discover the people who were responsible for them. Two weeks after the attacks took place, the FBI connected the event to the terrorist organization al-Qaeda. Moreover, they believed that the Taliban (a terrorist organization from Afghanistan) was related to the activities of al-Qaeda, particularly through the leadership of Osama bin Laden. The United States asked the Taliban to cooperate with them and allowed them to inspect the al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan, but the Taliban refused.
