Here are some of the attacks by the AQ from the beginning of its formation till now...
Pictures are included for reference. ENJOY!
First attack
December 29, 1992
A bomb went off at the Gold Mohur hotel, where U.S. troops had been staying while en-route to Somalia, though the troops had already left when the bomb exploded. The bombers targeted a second hotel, the Aden Movenpick, where they believed American troops might also be staying. That bomb detonated prematurely in the hotel car park, around the same time as the other bomb explosion, killing two Australian tourists. Bin Laden later claimed responsibility for the 1992 Yemen attack.

It is shocking how 19 terrorists can cause so much sorrow and pain. The Al-Qaeda group must be a very cooperative and hardworking that they can manipulate the security of the planes and actually leave efforts made by passengers put to waste. Not only were passengers in the planes affected but also the entire workforce in the World Trade Center.
