September11 remembered.
One of the landmark of modern history. On that day four aeroplanes were hijacked by 19 al-Qeada linked fighters and subsequently crashed onto several targets. This suicidal kamikaze attacked by al-Qeada inflamed the world and led USA to mount an invasion of Afganistan Taliban government which was accused of harbouring the al-Qeada leader Osama bin Ladin.
Two of the planes were crashed onto World Trade Centre in New York killing all the passengers on board as well as many on ground after the famous building collapsed within two hours. Another plane crashed on Pentagon while the remaining one crashed near Shanksville short of their intended target suspected to be Washington DC.
As a result of the event security measures were tightened for all air travels and the cause of al-Qeada fight became publicised to the world. My sympathy goes to all the innocent victims and their immediate family members and relatives. May God bless them. Amen.
