What happened on September 11, 2001 could not have been predicted by anyone. The terror attacks and devastation that filled this great country on that day were unexpected and unfathomable.

The group had been plotting for years before September 11. In 1998, Osama Bin Laden called Jihad against Jews and Crusaders.
We Ð- with Allahs help Ð- call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allahs order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call
