Queen Elizabeth Says Prayers For Victims And Survivors Of 9/11 Attacks

Queen Elizabeth Says Prayers For Victims And Survivors Of 9/11 Attacks

9/11 Attacks Anniversary: On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists associated with al Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes to carry out devastating suicide attacks against the United States.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth said on Saturday that her prayers remained with victims and survivors of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States and paid tribute to the communities that joined together to rebuild after the devastation.

"My thoughts and prayers - and those of my family and the entire nation - remain with the victims, survivors and families affected, as well as the first responders and rescue workers called to duty," she said in a message to US President Joe Biden.

"My visit to the site of the World Trade Center in 2010 is held fast in my memory," Elizabeth said.

"It reminds me that as we honour those from many nations, faiths and backgrounds who lost their lives, we also pay tribute to the resilience and determination of the communities who joined together to rebuild."

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists associated with al Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes to carry out devastating suicide attacks against the United States.

Two planes were flown into the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center which then collapsed, a third plane was flown into the Pentagon just outside Washington, DC, while crew members and passengers on a fourth plane forced hijackers to crash in Pennsylvania.

The 9/11 attacks killed 2,977 people, the single largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil, according to the 9/11 Memorial Museum.

Sixty-seven British nationals were among the dead.

Biden will commemorate the 20th anniversary attacks by visiting each of the sites where hijacked planes crashed, seeking to honour the victims.

The anniversary comes shortly after the chaotic end of the US-led war in Afghanistan, launched 20 years ago to root out al Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, who was killed in 2011 by US special forces in Pakistan.

Our warmest thanks to HRH Elizabeth II, for her gracious remembrance of the 20 year old tragedy that happened in the US on September 11, 2001. She is a remarkable lady and we appreciate her kindness and generous thoughts for us. We offer our prayers for her and her lovely family during these times of stress. May God richly bless them all.
