The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Lumir Abdixhiku, has marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States of America, expressing his solidarity with the victims’ families and the American people.

He recalled that the September 11, 2001 attacks, which claimed the lives of around 3,000 people, shocked the entire world and remain in the collective memory as one of the most serious acts of terrorism.

“This attack was not only a blow against the United States of America, but a brutal challenge to the fundamental values on which democratic society is built: freedom, peace and coexistence,” Abdixhiku said.

According to him, Kosovo understands more clearly than anyone else the value of freedom and the importance of friendship with the United States.

“Kosovo’s bond with the United States of America is not merely a relationship between two countries; it is a bond built on trust, values and a shared history of solidarity,” the LDK leader wrote.

On the anniversary of September 11, Abdixhiku reaffirmed his commitment to the alliance with the US and to democratic values.

“May the memory of the victims of September 11 live forever,” Abdixhiku concluded his message.

In a social media post, the US Embassy commemorated the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in the United States, in which around 3,000 people lost their lives.

The embassy wrote that it honors the lives lost during the attack that shook the world, as well as American resilience.

“We honor the lives lost, the heroes who emerged in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the resilience of the American spirit,” the embassy wrote.

The September 11, 2001, attack was coordinated by the extremist group al-Qaeda against the United States of America, killing 2,977 people and forever changing modern world history.

Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four passenger planes, two of which crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, causing both towers to collapse.

A third plane crashed into the Pentagon, just outside Washington. The fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania after the crew and passengers attacked the terrorists on board, preventing it from striking another target believed to have been the White House.
