September 11 has now become synonymous with the tragic events of 2001. But for others around the world, this date evokes different images and memories of terror:

September 11, 1973, Chile. President Salvador Allende, democratically elected leader of Chile, died in a CIA-backed military coup.

September 11, 1977, South Africa. Antiapartheid leader Stephen Biko, unconscious on the floor of a police van after being beaten by police, was driven 1,000 kilometers to Pretoria, where he would die the following day.

September 11, 1990, Guatemala. Guatemalan anthropologist Myrna Mack was murdered by U.S.-backed military.

September 9-13, 1971, New York. The Attica prison uprising occurred, in which New York state troopers killed thirty-nine men and wounded eighty-eight others.

No. It's The Red Arrow!!!! Back in the game to bring us the truth!!!

No. It's The Red Arrow!!!! Back in the game to bring us the truth!!!
It's some incarnate or another! Yay!

The date has bugger all to do with US policies. The reasons for the attack are entirely based on actions of the US, but the date was probably chosen completely arbitrarily. If you pick any of the 365 days of the years, you'll find the CIA has fucked SOMEONE in the ass on that day over the last 50 years, including plenty of Americans.

Yeah, what he said.

And Attica wasn't the result of foreign policy.

Yeah, what he said.

And Attica wasn't the result of foreign policy.

The South African thing didn't even have any relation to America.

Skapedroe, I'm hardly the most pro-US person on the forum, but you can't just pick lots of bad things from history and say that's why people hate the US. They've done lots of bad things themselves, so please find those and don't try to pin every evil act ever on them. Just type 'CIA' into google and you'll get plenty of ammo if you want to complain about US policies.

Dont forget "Revolution Airstrip" September 11th 1970. Palistianian hijackers took control of American, British and Swiss airliners which were all forced to land at a small airstrip controlled by the Palestinians in Jordan.

South Africas racist policies were modelled on segregation in the US

but in America the numbers 911 represents an emergency
Depends on where you live.

thats a good one to add to the list cause it gives an Israeli angle just like 911 had an Israeli angle too
