New Delhi, September 11: Remembering the horrific 9/11 World Trade Center attack on its 20th anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it was an attack on humanity and such tragedies can only be avoided by inculcating human values.
He further said that we have to remember the lessons taught by such terror attacks and simultaneously strive to implement the human values that India represents. "Today is September 11, that is 9/11, a date in the history of the world that is also known for attacks on humanity. But this same date also taught a lot to the whole world," he said.
"Today, the world is realising that the lasting solution to tragedies like two-decades-old 9/11 will be (found) through these values of humanity. Also, if we need to remember lessons learnt from these terrorist attacks, then we also need to keep making efforts for human values with full faith," Modi added.

On September 11, 2001, the United States faced the deadliest terrorist attack in its history. This incident had sent shockwaves across the world 20 years ago. It showed the ugly head of terror aided and abetted by Al Qaeda, in the name of radical Islam. In a span of just 102 minutes, the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center collapsed after planes hijacked by Al Qaeda operatives crashed into them.
Total 2,977 people lost their lives on this day, 20 years ago in a fateful terror attack. Most of the dead passengers were American nationals but citizens of about 100 countries lost their lives as well.
