Poles express solidarity for US victims on national day of mourning

Yesterday was a day of national mourning, all flags on government offices were at half mast. For ten seconds there was a sound of silence in the Polish air. Punctually, at 14.48 all fire brigades across the country blared sirens in unison in a sign of solidarity with New York fire fighters. "We declare cooperation in the search for and punishment of those who bear responsibility for what happened on Tuesday in the USA. No terrorist in any place on earth should feel safe." Buzek said yesterday after the latest meeting of the national emergency crisis team. A mass in which the president and the prime minister took part, was held in the Warsaw Katedra Polowa for the victims of Tuesday's terrorist attacks on the US. In addition, the president, the prime minister, government representatives and diplomats, alongside thousands of Warsaw citizens, signed a condolence book in Warsaw's Lazienki Park.
