Of the 19 terrorists, 15 came from Saudi Arabia, 2 from the UAE and one each from Egypt and Lebanon. Note none came from either Iraq or Afghanistan.

9/11 is also notable for not only being the worst terrorist incident for the US, but also for UK nationals. More British citizens lost their lives on 9/11 than any single terrorist attack during the troubles, the 2015 Tunisia attacks (30 victims), Lockerbie bombing (43 victims) or 7/7 (52 victims).

It’s also likely the worst terrorist attack for nationals from many other countries on the list where terrorism is not common.

To learn more about the 9/11 attacks have a look at the following books:

  • The Stories They Tell: Artifacts from the National September 11 Memorial Museum
  • The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11
  • The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (Authorized Edition)
