US marks 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks─── 10:02 Tue, 11 Sep 2018
The United States is set to mark the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Thousands of people will gather in New York City, Washington, DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
They'll remember nearly 3,000 people killed when hijacked jetliners crashed into the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania on 11 September 2001.
In New York City, a ceremony will take place at the 9/11 Memorial where mourners have gathered every year since the attack for the annual reading of victims' names.
A citywide moment of silence will also be observed throughout the morning.
More than 1,000 victims remain unidentified.
