U.S. Commemorates 25th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks with Ceremonies and Ongoing Legal Developments

The United States is marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with remembrance ceremonies across the country, including at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. President Donald Trump is attending the Pentagon observance, while Vice President JD Vance is at the National Sept. 11 Memorial in New York. This year's Ground Zero ceremony includes a new silent moment to honor those who died from 9/11-related illnesses. Meanwhile, the legal process for the alleged 9/11 plotters continues, with a military judge ordering jury selection for their trial to begin on June 5, 2028, and the Supreme Court set to decide on the lawfulness of withdrawing previously negotiated plea agreements.
