Search for Osama bin Laden I’m going to be researching the search for the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. This manhunt took nearly ten years to find one of the most notorious terrorists. Ever since the 9/11 attacks which took place on September 11, 2001, the CIA have been searching for the mastermind of these attacks. In the next few pages, I’m going to be explaining what it took to locate this man, who was also the leader of al Qaeda. Osama bin Laden, the mastermind who planned the attacks, and who hid for nearly a decade. “What happened, and what did it take to find Osama bin Laden?” This is my research question and the topic of the rest of my paper. They used software on a computer to find out connections to Osama bin Laded, and he also had a $25 million bounty on him. David Sanger came up with a plan to get a tape recorder in the Pakistani market, the tape recorder would send a signal and could be tracked, but this never worked.

He has been a part of a few bombings against the United States. He had 50+ siblings and was neglected in his family. When his dad died he started becoming more religious. Osama studied at King Abdul Aziz University. That is where he took interest in Islamic groups. When the Soviet Union tried to raid Afghanistan, Osama joined in on the fight. Iraq threatened Saudi Arabia, and then the United States Military offered help for Saudi Arabia. The royal family of Saudi accepted the United States offer. After all this happened, Osama was infuriated and spoke in public about the royal family. They then took Osama’s citizenship and he moved to Sudan. While he was in Sudan he created terrorist training camps. Around 1996, the U.S and Saudi Arabia threatened Sudan, and Osama was forced to move.

    Can you imagine being convicted of first degree murder at only 17 years of age? Adnan Syed couldn't believe it either. In fact he was mortified when they charged him of brutally suffocating, his ex-girlfriend Hea Min Lee, to death. Adnan Syed was a pawn that the Baltimore detectives played with, a mere dupe to cast off as the true killer. Syed is like many Americans, he was never granted a fair trial. There is some actors that make Syed guilty, but perhaps it was just pure coincidence that got Adan wrapped up in this whole mess. One simply can't overlook the major factors that make him innocent enough to grant him a second trial. Adan has spent half of his life in prison, due to a wrongful conviction that happened many

    Following the devastating terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, the Unites States found itself in a search for answers and revenge against those that had brought about this atrocity. The attack that has been compared to that of Pearl-Harbor elevated the tracking and collecting of terrorism from barely a priority, to the forefront of the American radar. I honestly believe that terrorism as the #1 priority is destined to remain at the top for the foreseeable future. The elemental thoughts on almost all American minds following the attacks were who had the strength and capability to could carry out such an attack on a country with the world’s strongest military and what led to their focus to attack the Untied States: In short, who attacked us, and why do they hate us? The Untied States formed a bi-partisan 9/11 Commission was formed to trace the roots of Al-Qa’ida, investigate the history of the 19 hijackers, examine missed opportunities of law enforcement officials to avert the disaster, and make recommendations to clean up the faulty incoherent intelligence-gathering operation. The 500+ page 9/11 Commission Report contained thirteen chapters of historical narratives, analysis and recommendations. All ten members of the bi-partisan commission signed off on the report, which has arguably become a national historical document. Just as the 9/11 Commission was created to find answers and recommend necessary follow steps to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself, Lawrence Wright sought answers as to why 3000 American lives were lost in the attacks on September 11th. An experienced traveler to the region, Lawrence Wright endeavored to do his own investigative study into the history, ideology and circumstances behind this large-...
