The US secret service has published a series of ânever seenâ photos of the September 11 attacks before the 20th anniversary.
Saturday September 11 will mark two decades since the world came to a standstill as terror of the September 11 attacks spread around the world.
19 men hijacked four commercial planes on the morning of September 11, 2001 and flew to major American landmarks in an attack orchestrated by Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
2,977 lives have been lost as a result of attacks that triggered irreversible changes in the world, including the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
To mark the occasion, the U.S. Secret Service spent the week sharing never-before-seen footage from one of the darkest days in U.S. history.
They said: âThis week, as the 20th anniversary of September 11 approaches, we will be sharing photos from that day and the days that followed. Some have already been shared and some have never been seen. Never forget”
