    both of my parents learned to speak, read, and write Arabic in defense language school. my dad was picked up by a contracting company working with the government and spent half my childhood overseas.
    He’s talked about being able to speak with Sheikh Mohammed while he was in custody in 2003. he didn’t try to hide anything he had done, he was eager to talk about the lengths Al-Queda had taken to carry out the attacks. the men were fully funded and lived in the US for several months, even took flying lessons in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota.
    People credit bin Laden with the attacks, but it was Sheikh Mohammed that orchestrated the whole thing. I’m glad that distinction was made in this video
    edit: Sheikh Mohammed had admitted that he was angry the towers had imploded rather than toppled over. he had given specific instructions to hit the top of the towers anticipating that they would fall sideways.

    A quick comment about America’s interrogation techniques. When Abu Zubaydah was captured, it was the FBI’s Arabic speaking Ali Soufan who first questioned him. Using respect and traditional questioning skills, Soufan learnt key information from Zubaydah which ended up being consequential in the long investigation into finding OBL. The CIA rendered Zubaydah only days into Soufan’s questioning. Once rendered and tortured, it was observed that he gave no further useful information to interrogators. Hence - torturing was counterproductive on every level.

      Na no he wasn’t they didn’t kill him. I was in Afghanistan in 2011 during that time and none of us believed it for good reason they “dropped” the body in the ocean and never showed confirmation for the people na I’m a marine corps veteran who know this is fake

    Such a well written and well made video. Its a sad but important topic. Thank you for presenting these topics with respect and tact. A little weird that the best historical information is on youtube, but i'm glad your one of the people creating it.

      Thanks! This one together with the Nebula video took about one and a half months. Some videos are quicker, this one was just very 3D animation heavy

      Blame the Greedy Satanist - capitalist American - the owner leased and insured the building few days before the explosion but in that day him and daughter wasn’t in - she had an appointment and had her daughter came later than she usually does I believe - and George bush is fine to school telling students about plane - makes me sad how this people kill their own brothers and sisters for profit money and power -

    The unknown intelligence agency mentioned at 10:14 could be RAW to my best knowledge.

    Sucks that we have to pay for another service to finish the documentary. Great production with no ending sadly.

      Yea lol shut down the video as soon as I knew I had to subscribe to some page. He could have easily done the second part as demonized here on youtube while the first part would be monetized. But oh well

      @@diegovillavicencio3172 I mean, he said this one took 90 days to make, so i assume the 2nd part also took 90 days. It's alot of work and I understand them wanting to be paid for it. It sucks but it's understandable

    I was amazed by the effort and patience it took to track him down. The video showed how the CIA followed small clues, like his couriers, and pieced together details over years. What stood out to me was how they combined human intelligence with careful observation, like studying the Abbottabad compound, to solve the mystery. It was fascinating to see how determination and smart thinking led to such a big breakthrough. The video made me appreciate the hard work behind achieving something that seemed impossible.

      Maybe because we didn’t actually find bin Laden or kill him.
      I was in Afghanistan 2011 not far from Pakistan border and the day they killed him none of the marines believed it because the story doesn’t add up and it’s just so fake.
