The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, commonly known as the 9/11 Commission, was established in 2002 to investigate the circumstances surrounding the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The commission aimed to provide a comprehensive account of the events leading up to the attacks, the response by government agencies, and the lessons learned to prevent future terrorism. The commission's final report, released in 2004, included recommendations for improving national security and intelligence operations. It emphasized the need for better coordination among agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to enhance the country's ability to detect and prevent terrorist threats.
