 | | The September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States, predominantly targeting civilians, carried out on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. |
 | | According to Mohammed Afroze, a planned simultaneous attack in London on the Palace of Westminster and Tower Bridge was aborted at the last minute when the would-be hijackers, waiting to board the planes they were to hijack, saw the damage in the U.S., panicked, and fled. |
 | | The attacks are almost universally referred to as terrorist attacks, and certainly fall under the two most-used definitions, both "political violence by non-state actors" and "political violence against civilians". |
