This line:
"Pointing to the so-called 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, ..."
is from this article:

Sometimes I don't understand properly the meaning of words used in some JA newspapers, so I'm trying to be open to different meanings.
Does the writer mean the terrorist attacks are so called "9/11"? As in, the attacks are commonly referred to as "9/11 attacks".
Or does the writer mean they were so-called terrorists attacks. As in, they're called terrorists attacks but actually weren't. Or never happened. Or some other conspiracy-minded thinking?
