The ceremony in New York marking the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks began this Saturday at the Manhattan memorial where stood the two twin towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) destroyed by jihadist attacks from Al-Qaeda.
US President Joe Biden presides over the ceremony and stands alongside his predecessors, including Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
A minute of silence was observed at 8:46 a.m., exactly twenty years after the first pirated plane crashed into the North Tower.
