Kwenzekani ngo-September 11, 2001?
Context:Ukuhlaselwa kukaSepthemba 11, okuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi u-9/11,[d] kwakuyizinhlaselo ezine zokuzibulala ezenziwa yinethiwekhi yamaSulumane eqinile i-al-Qaeda ngokumelene ne-United States ngoSepthemba 11, 2001. Ngalolo suku ekuseni, amaphekula ayishumi nesishiyagalolunye athatha izindiza ezine zezindiza ezazilindeleke ukuba zisuke ogwini olusempumalanga ziye eCalifornia.

Lokhu kuhlasela kwabulala abantu abacishe babe ngu - 3 000 futhi kwaqala impi yomhlaba wonke yokulwa nobuphekula.
Ukuhlaselwa kukaSepthemba 11, okuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi u-9/11,[d] kwakuyizinhlaselo ezine zokuzibulala ezenziwa yinethiwekhi yamaSulumane eqinile i-al-Qaeda ngokumelene ne-United States ngoSepthemba 11, 2001. Ngalolo suku ekuseni, amaphekula ayishumi nesishiyagalolunye athatha izindiza ezine zezindiza ezazilindeleke ukuba zisuke ogwini olusempumalanga ziye eCalifornia. Abagibeli bezindiza bashaya izindiza ezimbili zokuqala bangena eMibhoshongweni Yamawele eWorld Trade Center eNew York City kanti eyesithathu bangena ePentagon (indlunkulu yezempi yase-United States) e-Arlington County, eVirginia, eduze kwaseWashington, D.C. Indiza yesine nayo yayihloselwe ukushaya isakhiwo sikahulumeni wesifundazwe e-D.C., kodwa yaphahlazeka ensimini ngemva kokuvukela kwabagibeli. Lokhu kuhlasela kwabulala abantu abacishe babe ngu - 3 000 futhi kwaqala impi yomhlaba wonke yokulwa nobuphekula.  Umthelela wokuqala kwakuyi-American Airlines Flight 11. Yashayisa i-North Tower yesakhiwo se-World Trade Center esiseManhattan ephansi ngo-8:46 ekuseni. Emizuzwini engu-17 kamuva, ngo-9: 03,[e] i-South Tower ye-World Trade Center yashaywa i-United Airlines Flight 175. Zombili lezi zakhiwo ezinemigqa engu-110 zawa kungakapheli ihora nemizuzu engu-41, [1] okwaholela ekubhujisweni kwezakhiwo ezinhlanu ezisele endaweni ye-WTC, kanye nokulimaza noma ukubhubhisa ezinye izakhiwo ezahlukahlukene ezizungeze imibhoshongo. Indiza yesithathu, i - American Airlines Flight 77, yashayisa iPentagon ngo - 9:37 ekuseni, yabangela ukuwa kwengxenye yayo. Indiza yesine neyokugcina, i-United Airlines Flight 93, yayindiza ibheke eWashington, D.C. Bexwayisiwe ngokuhlaselwa kwangaphambilini, abagibeli bezindiza bazama ukulawula indiza, kodwa abagaxekile bagcina beyiphonse phansi indiza ensimini yaseStonycreek Township, ePennsylvania, eduze kwaseShanksville ngo-10: 03 ekuseni. Abaphenyi banquma ukuthi inhloso yezindiza engu - 93 kwakuyi - United States Capitol noma i - White House.  Ngemva kwamahora ambalwa kwenzeke lokhu kuhlasela, i-Central Intelligence Agency yanquma ukuthi i-al-Qaeda yiyo eyayinecala. I - United States yaphendula ngokusemthethweni ngokwethula impi yokulwa nobuphekula nokuhlasela i - Afghanistan ukuze isuse amaTaliban, ayengazange ahambisane nezimfuno zase - U.S zokuxosha i - al - Qaeda e - Afghanistan nokuletha umholi wayo, u - Osama bin Laden. Ukubhekisela kwe-U.S. esihlokweni sesi-5 se-North Atlantic Treaty - ukusetshenziswa kwaso kuphela kuze kube manje - kwabizela abalingani ukuba balwe ne-al-Qaeda. Njengoba amabutho ase-U.S. nawase-NATO ayehlasela i-Afghanistan, u-bin Laden wabalekela ezintabeni zase-White Mountains, lapho agwema khona ukuboshwa amabutho ayeholwa i-U.S. Nakuba ekuqaleni u-bin Laden enqaba ukuthi wayebandakanyekile, ngo-2004 wavuma ngokusemthethweni ukuthi nguye owayebangele lokhu kuhlasela. Izisusa ze-Al-Qaeda ezicashunwe zihlanganisa ukusekela kwe-US kwa-Israyeli, ukuba khona kwamasosha ase-US eSaudi Arabia, kanye nezijeziso ezibhekiswe e-Iraq. Ngemva kokugwema ukuboshwa cishe iminyaka eyishumi, uBin Laden wabulawa amasosha ase-U.S. ngo-May 2, 2011. Amabutho ase-U.S. ne-NATO ahlala e-Afghanistan kuze kube ngu-2021.  Lokhu kuhlasela kwabangela ukufa kwabantu abangu-2 977 abangebona abaqhwaga, inani elingaziwa lokulimala, nemiphumela yezempilo yesikhathi eside, ngaphezu kokulimala kwengqalasizinda nempahla okungenani eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi zamaRandi. Kusalokhu kuwukuhlaselwa kwamaphekula okubulala kakhulu emlandweni wesintu kanye nesigameko esisodwa esibulala kakhulu abacishi bomlilo kanye nezikhulu zomthetho emlandweni wase-U.S., kwabulawa abangu-340 no-72 ngokulandelana. Ukubhujiswa kweWorld Trade Center nezindawo eziyizungezile kwalimaza kakhulu umnotho waseNew York City futhi kwabangela ukushaqeka ezimakethe zomhlaba wonke. Amanye amazwe amaningi aqinisa imithetho elwa nobuphekula futhi andisa amandla ezinhlangano eziqinisa umthetho nezinhloli. Ukuhlanzwa kwendawo okwakwakhiwe kuyo iWorld Trade Center (ngokuvamile okubizwa ngokuthi "iGround Zero") kwathatha izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili futhi kwaqedwa ngo-May 2002, kuyilapho iPentagon yalungiswa kungakapheli nonyaka. Ngemva kokubambezeleka ekwakhiweni kwesakhiwo esisha, i-One World Trade Center yaqala ukwakhiwa ngoNovemba 2006 futhi yavulwa ngoNovemba 2014. Izikhumbuzo zokuhlaselwa zihlanganisa i-National September 11 Memorial & Museum eNew York City, i-Pentagon Memorial e-Arlington County, eVirginia, kanye ne-Flight 93 National Memorial endaweni yenhlekelele yasePennsylvania.
