0:54Now PlayingThe War on Terror was a global military campaign initiated by U.S. President George W. Bush in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The primary objective was to combat and eradicate terrorism, particularly targeting the extremist group al-Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, who was responsible for orchestrating the 9/11 attacks. The U.S. government, supported by a coalition of allies, launched military operations in Afghanistan in 2001 to oust the Taliban regime, which had harbored and supported al-Qaeda.
The broader goal of the War on Terror was to prevent future terrorist attacks and eliminate perceived threats to global security. The initiative involved military interventions, intelligence operations, and diplomatic efforts aimed at disrupting terrorist networks worldwide. However, the war faced criticism for its prolonged duration, civilian casualties, and the subsequent invasion of Iraq in 2003, as the justification for the latter was based on flawed intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction.
