Washington: Eleven years after terrorist attacks destroyed New York
World Trade Center's twin towers, thousands gathered Tuesday at ground
zero and elsewhere to mark the traumaticevent in sombre ceremonies
sans politicians.
In the midst of a heated electioncampaign, both President BarackObama
and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney have decided to steer away
from any political talk in a simple gesture of homage to the 11th
anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Obama has scheduled a momentof silence at the White House and a trip
to the Pentagon, the target of one of four planes Al Qaeda hijacked 11
years ago.
Romney, meanwhile, is set to address the National Guard, whose members
deployed as part of the US response to the attacks.
