Prior to the 9/11 attacks, there were a number of other “terrorist†events that occurred on both U.S. soil and abroad. Read the article discussing the Oklahoma City bombing, located at https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/oklahoma-city-bombing and the article discussing the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, located at http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2008/february/tradebom_022608. These events, however, did not have the impact on the American psyche and the political repercussions that accompanied the 9/11 attacks, such as the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). A webpage dedicated to the creation of the DHS is located at http://www.dhs.gov/creation-department-homeland-security.
