Who in Afghanistan attacked you?

What was the nationality of those involved in 9/11?

It was very clear at the time that the masterminds behind the 9/11
attacks were in Afghanistan. It was also clear that AQ was training in
Afghanistan. Hell, the Afghanistan government didn't even deny it.

We told them very clearly that they either turn those responsible over
or we would come in and get them. They basically said, "bring it" so we did.

Did we get all of them? No. But we did pretty well. And last time I
checked there hasn't been a terrorist attack on US soil since.
