The Dhaka Times Desk Today marks the 20th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in the United States. The incident that happened on September 11, 2001. About three thousand people lost their lives in that incident.
Terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center or the Twin Towers, the pride of the United States, with 4 hijacked passenger planes that day. Another small building nearby was destroyed. At the same time, the Pentagon was attacked by the US Department of Defense. About three thousand people lost their lives in the incident that day. Today is the 20th anniversary of that horrific attack.
On that day, the American Airlines Boeing-767 aircraft filled with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel hit the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. 19 terrorists associated with the militant organization al-Qaeda hijacked 4 airplanes and simultaneously carried out this suicide attack in 3 places in the United States.
The attack changed the whole world. In response to that attack, the United States found itself embroiled in the longest war in history. Washington also attacked Afghanistan, which is known as the base of the leader of the group, Osama bin Laden, blaming Al Qaeda for the attack.
At that time, the then Taliban government, an ally of bin Laden, was overthrown. But the scenario has changed in the last 20 years. The United States left Afghanistan just days before the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. At the same time, the Taliban has once again seized the seat of Kabul.
In such circumstances, the United States is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The entire nation is remembering the victims with humble respect and love. A memorial to the victims of the incident has been arranged in New York.
Meanwhile, New York's 9/11 Memorial and Museum has organized lighting in memory of the victims. At sunset local time on Saturday, 88 lamps of 7,000 watts will be lit from the roof of the Battery Parking Garage in the style of twin towers. The roofs of New York's tallest buildings, including the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, the Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center Plaza and the New York Historical Society, will also be illuminated.
The White House said, on this anniversary, US President Joe Biden will visit all three affected areas on that day. This time First Lady Joe Biden will also be with him.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Douglas Emhoff are scheduled to attend a separate memorial service in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. From there, they will later meet with President Joe Biden at the Pentagon.
US President Joe Biden has ordered the release of documents related to the FBI's investigation into the 9/11 attack on September 11, 2001. Joe Biden made this announcement on September 3 in view of the long-standing demands of the victims and affected family members of the attack.
In a statement, the US president said, "I made a commitment to ensure transparency in the release of documents relating to the 9/11 attacks." I honor that commitment in view of the 20th anniversary of the attacks. The American people have a right to know everything the US government knows about this attack.
US President Joe Biden signed the executive order to release the report of the FBI investigation. This information has been obtained from various news media and news agency sources.
