Explanation:

1- After the attacks, the Bush administration declared the so-called War on Terror, with the objectives of bringing Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda to justice and preventing the action of anti-American terrorist networks. These objectives would be achieved through economic and military sanctions against states perceived as protectors of terrorists and increasing surveillance and global intelligence.

The first step given by United States in the War on Terror was the invasion of Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 by NATO forces and the Northern Alliance with support from the United Nations, given the refusal of the ruling Taliban regime to hand over Osama bin Laden, who allegedly had taken refuge in that country.

2- The War in Afghanistan broke out in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, of which this country blamed Osama bin Laden.

The declared objective of the invasion was to find Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders to bring them to trial, and to overthrow the government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ruled by the Emir Mullah Omar, who supported and gave refuge and coverage of Al Qaeda members.

3- The War in Iraq was a conflict that began on Thursday, March 20, 2003 and ended on Sunday, December 18, 2011. The main justification for this operation offered by President George W. Bush and his coalition allies was the affirmation that Iraq possessed and was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMD), in violation of a 1991 agreement.

4- The detention of suspected terrorists is a controversial issue in the United States. It is widely accepted that the CIA is involved in both the torture of detainees in the clandestine detention centers that operate (called black sites) and in the sending of prisoners to be tortured by other governments, in a manner that violates American and international laws.

5- Jihadism is a Western neologism used to refer to the most violent and radical branches within Islam, being characterized by the frequent and brutal use of terrorism, in the name of an alleged jihad, which its followers call a "holy war" in the name of Allah against "the enemies of Islam".
