US troops in Afghanistan remember 9/11

U.S. troops in Afghanistan remembered those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks during a ceremony Thursday at an American base in Kabul, where a top U.S. general said terrorism still remains a threat to the world.Maj. Gen. Robert Cone told those gathered for a memorial ceremony at Camp Eggers that terrorists have struck in London, Russia and Bali, Indonesia since the 2001 attacks in the United States.

“These attacks are reminders that the threat of terrorism is real and still a danger to the entire world,” Cone said.

Cone’s command in Kabul trains and equips the fledgling Afghan security forces — the centerpiece of the American strategy of turning Afghanistan into a country that can defend itself and away from the days when Osama bin Laden used it as a safe haven to launch attacks in New York and Washington.
