Who were the hijackers that blew up twin towers?

On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to retake control of the plane.

The hijackers were all members of al-Qaeda, a militant Islamist organization based in Afghanistan. The attacks were planned and executed by Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda. Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in 2011.

The hijackers were:

* Mohamed Atta (pilot of American Airlines Flight 11)
