NEW YORK, NY. (NEWS1130) – There is still no evidence that anyone linked to al-Qaida has entered the country to carry out an attack on the tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Police and FBI agents remain on alert as investigators look for proof of a plot against Washington or New York.
Since late Wednesday, counter-terrorism officials have chased a tip that al-Qaida may have sent three men to detonate a car bomb. At least two of those men could be US citizens.
Meanwhile, a sombre ceremony honoured the heroism of the 40 passengers and crew aboard Flight 93.
Vice-President Joe Biden and former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, along with relatives of the passengers and crew, attended an afternoon ceremony in a field in Pennsylvania.
During the service $62 million was dedicated to the Flight 93 National Memorial.
