Most people have been known to associate the attacks of 9/11 with the leader of the al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden. The real planner, a mastermind who had a wide range of experience in the field of terrorism was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. This figure orchestrated a series of terrorist activities across the globe. Khalid sees himself as a powerful man, someone who could control the world, and take it down any moment he wanted. The various attacks he has launched in different countries are more than enough evidence that there was nothing he could not manage to do. Eventually, this came to an end, and unfortunately he, has found himself in the arms of the government.
Khalid was born on 1st march in the year 1964 in the city of Kuwait. He was arrested in the year 2000, 1st of March of the place known as Rawalpindi in Pakistan. This man was a citizen of 3 countries, namely Bosnia, Pakistan, and Kuwait. He was detained at CIA black sites and Guantanamo as he awaited prosecution by the court of law. He has been charged with conspiracy as well as terrorism, including the mass killing of innocent citizens.
The man was not only known by the name Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He had an addition of over 50 other names. His terrorist activities have been spread across the globe in the last 20 years. He is alleged to have planned the attack on the World Trade Center in the year 2001. He was the figure responsible for the bombing of the Bojinka,a plan that never was successfully hatched. But these were just few of the many attacks that he attempted before the final attack on September 11. The Interservice Intelligence was the security body that finally caught up with him. After he was arrested, he was transferred to America in the year 2007. He has openly confessed to being the mastermind of the 9/11 attack along with other attacks in different parts of the world.
The 2001 September attack was the first plan of terrorism that Khalid ever presented to Osama bin Laden. He planned that planes from most parts of the east coast would first be hijacked. Then, the planes would be flown to the areas of interest. Osama did not agree to some of the attack strategies to the US that had been planned by Khalid. There were a number of meetings where Osama, military leader Mohammed Atef and Khalid attended prior and after the attack on 9/11. Osama did everything to provide both military and financial support to facilitate the plot. Mohammed Atef was then chosen as the leader of the hijacking team. That was when a meeting was organized and the 3 decided on the strategic places in America for bombing on 9/11. It was just enough to bring down the American plane, and as it was planned, successful.
