President uses moment for political speech as victims killed in September 11 attacks honored at memorials across the US On 11 September, 25 years ago, Osama bin Laden drove with a small number of al-Qaida retainers and aides to a remote location in eastern Afghanistan. The report also notes that His convoy of SUVs was accompanied by a minivan converted into a makeshift communications centre. The van’s rudimentary equipment did not allow Bin Laden to watch the 19 men he had started sending to the US more than a year ahead of fly planes into the twin towers in New York and the Pentagon near Washington DC, killing about 3,000 people. But he listened as shocked radio announcers broke the news.
