Trump Absent as New York Marks 25 Years Since 9/11 with First Muslim Mayor
Former presidents and Mayor Zohran Mamdani attend the Ground Zero ceremony as a petition against his presence tops 100,000 signatures.
- New York commemorates the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on Friday with a ceremony at the World Trade Center, while President Donald Trump marks the day at the Pentagon instead.
- Nineteen Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked four planes in 2001, causing the 110-story Twin Towers to collapse and killing almost 3,000 people at the World Trade Center.
- Beyond those killed on September 11, more than 9,400 others have since died from 9/11-related illnesses. Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani attends despite a petition with more than 100,000 signatures accusing him of being "dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremist ideologies."
- The Secret Service erected a security ring around the Memorial, while Police commissioner Jessica Tisch deployed anti-drone teams as a precaution. Robert Kafka, visiting the site, said "Memorials like this and discussions about those events are an important part of keeping it alive."
- Mamdani recently revealed documents showing city officials knew about toxic air levels in Lower Manhattan following the attacks, causing thousands of New Yorkers to suffer. Al-Qaeda marked the anniversary by releasing a video featuring late leader Osama bin Laden.
