Abstract

One of the deadliest incidents in American history; September 11th, 2001 attacks, four airplanes were hijacked and crashed causing 2977 deaths, and three towers were destroyed, The United States became suspicious of Al-Qaida, not long after, the U.S declared war on terror by invading both Iraq and Afghanistan to eliminate the Taliban, everything has changed, even he view on Islam has changed and Islamophobia was spreading. Americans were severely affected by the 9/11 World Trade Center attack; those attacks caused hundreds of deaths, injuries, while others were trapped in higher floors of the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Americans and people from all around the world were shocked. They were certain that 9/11 terrorist Attacks was a suspicious and a questionable act, therefore a conspiracy theory arose. This study aims at investigating whether the Attacks of 9/11 are planned from inside the country or not. This dissertation adopts both the historical and the qualititative approaches. The most prominent conspiracy theory is that the collapse of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center7 was the result of controlled demolitions rather than a structural failure due to impact and fire, another conspiracy is that the Pentagon was hit by a missile fired by elements from within the United States government or that a commercial plane was allowed to do so by stepping aside from the American military. The main interest in this work is to tackle the both sides of the story to find out who really did it and why, what changes have happened, and the reaction of the United States. The 9/11 Attacks against the United States remains as a shocking act that caused many dead, material and moral losses
