Both US presidential candidates mark 9/11 anniversary

President Barack Obama and the first lady were to observe a minute’s silence on the White House South Lawn at the moment an airliner flown by al Qaeda terrorists struck the World Trade Center’s North Tower eleven years ago. Mitt Romney plans to address the National Guard Association Convention in Reno and Ann Romney participate in anniversary events in Florida.
Outside Jerusalem, US Ambassador Dan Shapiro and families of 9/11 victims attended a memorial ceremony Tuesday.
