A police report on 9/11

Early on September 11,2001,19 hijackers seized control of four planes.Calmly and precisely, and using sophisticated methods of communication, they systematically crashed two planes into the World Trade Center.One other struck the Pentagon, while another landed in a field near Shankville.

The motivation of the hijackers seemed at first to be unclear, but upon further
investigation, it appears to be an attack executed by the terrorist group Al Qaeda.

All military force in the nation, including the CIA, are working to prevent a recurrence of this situation and have already brought justice to some of the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
