The Aftermath and How the United States was affected?

An enormous impact on the United States was caused by the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City. The incident, which was carried out by a group of Islamic extremists, left more than 1,000 people injured in addition to the six fatalities. National security, ties with other countries, and the economy were only a few of the areas that were affected by the bombing. The attack served as a reminder of the threat of terrorism on American territory from a national security standpoint. The idea that terrorism was a global problem that mostly affected other nations was prevalent at the time. The World Trade Center bombing, however, made it clear that organized groups might target the United States as well. The incident prompted an extensive revision of security protocols, including the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and the passing of the USA PATRIOT Act. Additionally, it signaled the beginning of a new phase in the history of terrorism, one that featured more advanced strategies and improved collaboration across extremist organizations. International relations were affected by the bombing as well. Al-Qaeda, which was at the time a relatively obscure organization, was linked to the attack's perpetrators. The U.S. government started paying more attention to the threat posed by Islamic radicals following the bombing, which culminated in the War on Terror that started after the September 11 attacks in 2001. Bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 had a tremendous effect on the economy. Estimated damage and disruption to the local economy from the attack total $500 million. Companies in the vicinity had to move, and the expense of reconstructing and enhancing security was high [10].
