Twenty Years Later: The 9/11 Terrorist Attacks

Nearly 3,000 people were killed when 19 members of the Islamist terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes in 2001.

The terrorist group intentionally crashed two planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Alexandria, Va. The fourth plane, believed to be headed to the White House, crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pa.

On Friday’s edition of “Closer Look,” show host Rose Scott talks with guests about the deadly 9/11 attacks, honoring and remembering the victims and U.S. policy on terrorism.
