Au trecut 23 de ani de la atentatele din 11 septembrie. Aproximativ 3.000 de oameni și-au pierdut viața în cel mai devastator atac terorist din SUA

A hijacked commercial plane crashes into the World Trade Center 11 September 2001 in New York. The landmark skyscrapers were destroyed in the attack. The all-out war on terrorism unleashed by Washington after the attacks marked a turning point in US-Arab relations and nowhere more so than in once top ally Saudi Arabia. With 15 of the 19 suicide hijackers carrying Saudi nationality and mastermind Osama bin Laden being the scion of a leading Saudi family, the desert kingdom and world oil kingpin, suddenly found itself on the frontline of the war on terror prosecuted by US President George W. Bush. AFP PHOTO SETH MCALLISTER,Image: 285670527, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: ALTERNATIVE CROP OF WAS2003090411294, Model Release: no, Credit line: Profimedia
