9/11 anniversary

Federal authorities have issued a security bulletin ahead of the September 11 anniversary, warning that foreign terrorist organizations continue to call for or encourage attacks. The advisory comes as the US marks the anniversary, a period when officials routinely heighten vigilance and review threat reporting. It signals ongoing concern about inspired or directed plots, even without a specific, credible threat announced to the public.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York says it has reached a milestone of educating 20 million students as the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches. Officials describe teaching young people about the 2001 attacks as a 'sacred obligation,' highlighting the institution's education programs that bring the history of that day to schoolchildren who were not yet born when it happened.

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, victims and their families say newly uncovered records could shed light on the Saudi government's alleged connection to the hijackers. Families have long pressed for the declassification of documents they believe will substantiate claims of Saudi involvement, and the fresh material has renewed hopes for accountability and answers that have remained elusive for decades.
