U.S. embassy honors victims of terrorism three months after the WTC attacks

The US embassy in Warsaw commemorated yesterday the three month anniversary of the terrorist attack on New York and Washington. "On the 11th of September our brothers and sisters died; they were killed in the name of an ideology that was built on hate," said Foreign Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz. Participants of the ceremony held candles, which in Polish tradition symbolizes remembrance of those who passed away, but is also a symbol of new life. The memory of those murdered in the attacks was honored by a minute of silence, and "God Bless America" was sung by the gathered at the end of the ceremony. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 6) A.K.
