U.S. President Barack Obama travels to New York on Thursday to honor the
victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, days after U.S. forces
killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. Mr. Obama is scheduled to
lay a wreath at the site of the destroyed World Trade Center buildings and meet
privately with relatives of those killed in the 2001 al-Qaida attacks.
The White House says the president is not expected to make public
remarks.
Presidential spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday Mr. Obama wants to meet
with the families to share with them the important and significant, yet
"bittersweet" moment following the death of bin Laden.
Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday pays tribute to the September 11
victims by laying a wreath at a memorial at the Pentagon. Mr. Obama on Friday
will travel to Kentucky to honor soldiers at Fort Campbell who supported the
Navy SEALs in their attack on bin Laden's compound early Monday in the Pakistani
military garrison town of Abbottabad. |
