The September 11 attacks, also commonly known as "9/11" refers to the infamous and tragic attack on the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Pentagon on September 11, 2001 by militant Islamists loyal to Osama Bin Laden  - it involved the use of passenger planes as weapons in a forced-suicide attack similar to the famous "kamikaze" pilots of World War II. No end of conspiracy theories have been spawned by the attacks, the most common being that the United States government itself carried it out and pinned it on Islamic terrorists to justify invading the Middle East for its oil.
