Question:

Operation Enduring Freedom was launched by America as a part of which of its program?

Options:

Global War on Terror

Operation Desert Storm

Global War on threats to humans

Operation Al-Qaeda

Correct Answer:

Global War on Terror

Explanation:

The US response to 9/11 was swift and ferocious. Clinton had been succeeded in the US presidency by George W. Bush of the Republican Party, son of the earlier President George H. W. Bush. Unlike Clinton, Bush had a much harder view of US interests and of the means by which to advance them. As a part of its ‘Global War on Terror’, the US launched ‘Operation Enduring Freedom’ against all those suspected to be behind this attack, mainly Al-Qaeda and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
