9/11/2001 was a terrorist attack, plain and simple. Doesn't count.
Pearl Harbor doesn't count because Hawaii wasn't part of the United states at the time. Neither do the balloon attacks (it's a fable depending on what you read).
Everything else either predates the answer, or is on a different continent all together (I'm still laughing at Mike's answer).
Nobody got the answer. In 1916, Pancho Villa took 600 mexican soldiers into Columbus, New Mexico (a town with an army base). He did some burning and looting, but lost somewhere between 100 and 200 soldiers (compared to 18 Americans, half of them civilians). John Pershing led the Punitive Expidition into Mexico in order to disperse his troops, but they never found him. On the plus side, it gave a great field test for the new army air force.
I love the history channel...
