FAMILIES of the victims of the worst terror attack on the United States in history are gathering to mark its 12th anniversary.
The September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City and Washington killed almost 3000 people, led to a long war in Afghanistan and created an expansion of government surveillance powers that continues to be debated today.
At a ceremony near Wall Street in New York, people read the names of people who died when two hijacked planes struck the World Trade Centre and the twin towers collapsed.
President Barack Obama was attending a ceremony in Washington at the Pentagon, which was struck by another hijacked plane.
"No matter how many years pass, this time comes around each year - and it's always the same," said Karen Hinson, who lost her 34-year-old brother, Michael Wittenstein, in New York. His body was never found.
Continuing a decision made last year, no politicians will make speeches.
Around the world, thousands of volunteers have pledged to do good deeds, honoring an anniversary that was designated a National Day of Service and Remembrance in 2009.
