Relating to 9/11
Al Qaeda happened to also attack in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq before
9/11 occurred. This being said, with Iraq not withdrawing from Kuwait, UN
Resolution 678 was passed, allowing US air forces to be ready for possible
Iraqi attack on Saudi Arabia. While this was happening, Al Qaeda felt
threatened but also thought of their opportunity to attack in the US, therefore
leading into the attack known as 9/11.
