Leticia Mcmahon · Answer 2

weaken the threat from al-Qaeda

Explanation:

After the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York, the US administration was quick to react to the terrorists, namely al-Qaeda. Afghanistan was the nation in which al-Qaeda had its strongest basis, as well as the majority of its leadership, so the US launched an attack on this nation. The invasion was going relatively well, and as planned, with the main goal of weakening and possibly totally destroying al-Qaeda being accomplished step by step. The end result was destruction of this terrorist organization, with its leader Osama bin Laden being captured and murdered as well.
