On 7 October, 2001, NATO and allied forces attacked Afghanistan, less than a month after the 9/11 attacks.

Official Narrative

The justification for the attacks we as that the 9/11 attacks of September 11, 2001 were carried out by Al-Qaeda under the leadership of Ossama Bin Laden, who was taking refuge in Afghanistan, under the protection of Taliban forces.


Problems

Ossama Bin Laden denied responsibility for the attacks and no evidence has been presented of his responsibility. On 5 October, the Taliban offered to try bin Laden in an Afghan court, so long as the U.S. provided what it called "solid evidence" of his guilt. The U.S. government dismissed the request for proof as "request for delay or prevarication".
