Episode 10: The War on Terror
from INTIFADA: Hamas in the US Hosted by Lara Burns
On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by Al Qaeda when terrorists hijacked and flew commercial airliners full of innocent civilians into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. This event led to the United States' War on Terror.

However, leaders in the US-based Hamas infrastructure adapted quickly to the development and continued, undeterred in pursuing their mission.
