New York prepares major security operation for 9/11 anniversary

New York officials say a “massive” security operation is underway ahead of commemorations marking the 25th anniversary of the 11 September 2001 attacks.

Former US presidents and other dignitaries are expected to gather at Ground Zero in New York for the anniversary commemorations.

The security preparations were reported by France 24 International, which did not provide details of the measures involved, the agencies responsible, the operation’s duration or its precise scale.

The commemorations will mark 25 years since the attacks in the United States, an event that had major consequences for the country and the wider world.

Officials’ description indicates preparations are underway. The available information does not confirm the identities of expected attendees or that all listed guests will attend.
