National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9/11 Commission)

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, known as the 9/11 Commission, was a bipartisan group established in 2002 to investigate the events leading to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It examined how the hijackers managed to exploit security gaps and coordinated the attacks. The Commission’s goal was to identify failures and recommend improvements in national security, intelligence, and counterterrorism efforts. Its final report provided detailed insights into the events and systemic issues, helping the U.S. enhance its defenses against future threats and better understand the complexities of terrorism.
