US marks Sept. 11 attacks with Pentagon, World Trade Center site events
Americans paused on Monday to remember the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, 22 years after Islamist hijackers seized control of jetliners and crashed them into the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon. President Joe Biden was flying to Alaska to conclude a five-day trip to India and Vietnam, and was to deliver remarks in a solemn ceremony in Anchorage. Biden's decision to hold the event in Alaska, instead of Washington or New York, was a departure from what has been presidential custom.
