NATO commemorates 9/11 victims
USSELS. September 12. KAZINFORM /Dimash Syzdykov/ On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 in the USA NATO Headquarters announced a moment of silence and half-masted national flags of 28 Alliance member states in commemoration of the victims.
Delivering a speech, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen reminded that ten years ago in the United States terrorists killed nearly three thousand men, women and children. Citizens of 25 NATO Allied and partner countries died that day.
"As the wreckage smouldered in New York, at the Pentagon, and in the fields of Pennsylvania, we buried our colleagues, our friends, our loved ones. And we resolved to find the extremists who had planned and inspired the attacks," the NATO head said.
He outlined that today, the architect of the 9/11 atrocity is no more. History has buried him. Unfortunately, his terrible ideology of conflict is not yet buried with him.
