New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took part in commemorations marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
During the commemoration, Mamdani reportedly referred to September 11 as the "darkest day" in the city's history, the report said.
Al Jazeera reported that Mamdani's participation in the anniversary events came amid widespread criticism, though the report did not detail the specific nature of the criticism or its sources.
The September 11, 2001 attacks, in which hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, and a field in Pennsylvania, killed nearly 3,000 people and remain one of the most significant events in modern American history. Anniversaries of the attacks are traditionally marked with memorial ceremonies in New York City and elsewhere.
