U.S. President Joe Biden marked the 21st anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, taking part in a sombre wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon held under a steady rain and paying tribute to extraordinary Americans who gave their lives on one of the country's darkest days.
Sunday's ceremony occurred a little more than a year after Biden ended the long and costly war in Afghanistan that the U.S. and allies launched in response to the terror attacks.
Biden noted that even after the United States left Afghanistan that his administration continues to pursue those responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Last month, Biden announced the U.S. had killed Ayman al-Zawahri, the al-Qaeda leader who helped plot the Sept. 11 attacks, in a clandestine operation.
"We will never forget, we will never give up," Biden said. "Our commitment to preventing another attack on the United States is without end."
