September 11 attacks

A victim of the September 11, 2001 attacks has been newly identified using a first-of-its-kind genetic genealogy technique, according to ABC News. The advance offers hope that more of the remaining unidentified victims of the attacks could eventually be matched to families, decades after the tragedy.

A US panel has called for new security reforms to mark 25 years since the September 11 attacks. The recommendations come as the United States reassesses its counterterrorism posture a quarter-century after 9/11 reshaped American security policy. Details of the panel's specific proposals have not yet been widely reported, but the anniversary timing is drawing attention to ongoing gaps in homeland security.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, saying that after Americans, Indians made up the highest number of victims. His remarks underscore the scale of the tragedy for the Indian community in the United States and come amid global remembrance of the attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people and reshaped international counterterrorism policy.
