As the United States observed the one-month anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, U.S.-led coalition forces continued to pound targets in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced this warning: "Certain information, while not specific as to target, gives the government reason to believe that there may be additional terrorist attacks within the United States and against U.S. interests overseas over the next several days."

"On September 11th, great sorrow came to our country," President Bush said at a service of remembrance at the Pentagon, one of the targets a month ago. "From that sorrow has come great resolve. Today, we are a nation awakened to the evil of terrorism, and determined to destroy it. That work began the moment we were attacked; and it will continue until justice is delivered."
