Impact of 9/11 on Germany's security agencies
On September 11, 2001, terrorists from the "Hamburg Cell" carried out terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, resulting in the death of approximately 3,000 people. The investigation revealed that three of the terrorists were residing in Hamburg, Germany, and they followed their radicalization through the Al-Quds Mosque before carrying out the attacks. The German government responded swiftly, passing anti-terror laws that increased intelligence agency powers and arresting some of the suspects, including Munir al-Muttalib, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison and was later deported. Germany also participated in the war in Afghanistan after the attacks, losing 59 soldiers in the 20-year conflict.
