Al Qaeda has released a video marking the anniversary of 9/11 which includes a message from its slain leader Osama bin Laden to the American people, monitoring group SITE Intelligence said on Tuesday.

An advertisement by the government of Pakistan placed in America's leading newspaper The Wall Street Journal on the 9/11 anniversary has invited flak from all quarters. In the half page ad, Pakistan touts its efforts against Al Qaeda and praises itself for the role in America's war on terror. In fact, it even goes on to say Pakistan is fighting terror for the rest of the world.

Ten years after the US launched war against terrorism, in particular those of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, President Barack Obama has said America was not and never would be at war with Islam or any other religion.

For all the journalistic firepower gathered to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on Sunday, the small moments captured by cameras resonated most deeply.

World Trade Center attack: As the United States and the world mark the tenth anniversary of the 9/11, there's a global alert against fresh terror attacks.

World Trade Center attack: Close your eyes and picture September 11. The memories are cauterized, familiar forever.
