On 11 September 2001, about 3,000 people became victims of a terrorist act in the United States by Osama bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the Al-Qaeda organization based in and allied to the Taliban's Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. In October 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom was launched to remove the Taliban from power and dispel Al-Qaeda.

On September 28, 2000 when Ariel Sharon, a Likud party candidate for Israeli Prime Minister, entered the Temple Mount accompanied by over 1,000 security guards.  He stated  the Temple Mount is in Israel hands and will remain. Palestinians have since claimed his act was a provocation and see it as the beginning of the Second Intifada
