Fifteen minutes later, hijacked United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston bound for Los Angeles, CA crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. Both towers collapsed, causing around 2,823 casualties and hundreds of injuries. The terrorists were said to have used small knives and box cutters to overtake the planes. Al Qaeda is responsible for this and three other hijacked planes on this day that caused over 3,000 total deaths. Note: Authorities put the final death toll from the twin towers' destruction at 2, 823 (CNN 05/30/02).
An hour after the attacks against the World Trade Center in New York, a hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 from Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles, CA crashed into the helicopter landing pad on the west side of the Pentagon, causing 189 fatalities and extensive damage to the structure of the Pentagon. Al Qaeda is responsible for this and three other hijacked plane attacks that killed more than 3,000 people in total. Note: As of 02/01/02, the disaster toll stands at 189 fatalities.

United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark, N.J. was hijacked and diverted from its flight path to San Francisco and crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The plane crashed shortly after it turned in the direction of Washington, DC. It is believed that the hijackers were overtaken by the passengers on board and this is what caused the crash in a field in Shanksville. The hijacked plane could have been headed toward the White House or Capitol Building in Washington, DC. This is one of four hijacked planes on this morning that were used to cause a total of over 3,000 fatalities. Al Qaeda is responsible for all four attacks. Note: As of 12/20/01, the disaster toll stands at 44 fatalities (CBS Morning News, 12/20/01).
A group calling themselves, "The Autonomous Decorators" claimed responsibility for throwing paint bags at the Thuringian Interior Ministry building.

An unmentioned number of trees in the Nez Perce National Forest's otter wing timber sale area southeast of Grangeville, Idaho were spiked by a "nameless Earth Liberation Front (ELF) cell." In the statement left by the group, the Nez Perce was named as one of many national forests that has been scarred from excessive logging, a practice they regard as a financial drain and an ecological disaster.

An Islamic militant group warned that Muslim women who did not wear a veil would face "serious consequences." Soon afterwards, five women were attacked with acid by Lashkar-e-Jabbar (LeJ) activists in Sringar. One man was also injured. Other attacks have been carried out with paint, but Lashkar-e-Jabbar (LeJ) has since threatened to shoot women who do not abide by the dress code. The group has also demanded that Hindu women wear Bindi on their forehead and Sikh women cover their heads with a saffron cloth.
SRI LANKA. In early January the British and U.S.Embassies in Colombo received letters warning that tea destined for export had been poisoned. Similar letters were received by Australian and Canadian missions. Originating with the Tamil Eelam Army, a small guerrilla group, the letters asserted that Sri Lankan tea shipments had been contaminated with potassium cyanide. While the threats were officially discounted, the Sri Lankan Government initiated "precautionary measures" and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it was testing all black tea imported from Sri Lanka for possible cyanide contamination.
Suicide attackers of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) Sea Tigers rammed their vessels into a ship carrying fuel near Point Pedro. At least five Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) boats carrying explosives were involved in the attack. Voice of Tigers Radio reports that two of the attackers were women. The attack was carried out in retaliation for an 2 October 2001 Sri Lankan Navy attack on a Sea Tiger Base.

The "poison" turned out to be a substance which causes color tainting but is not harmful.
BELGIUM. A Palestinian group called the Arab Revolutionary Army claimed it injected exported Israel oranges with mercury to sow panic and wreck the country's economy. Five Dutch children fell ill and European officials checked thousands of oranges. Two oranges were found in Holland and West Germany spiked with mercury. A group calling itself the Arab Revolutionary Army claimed responsibility, saying, "We do not intend to kill people in nations that import the oranges but to sabotage the Israel economy." Authorities felt the oranges must have been spiked in Rotterdam where they were shipped for repackaging and shipment to Europe. A lemon injected with mercury was found in Heverlee, Belgium, near the university town of Louvain. And a London woman found an Israeli orange spiked with mercury in a bag of fruit she bought in a London department store on February 7, making England the fifth country where poisoned fruit was discovered in one week.

An envelope, containing Adamsite was found at Ostend Airport. Adamsite is a derivative of arsenic and is used, among other things, in rocket fuel.
