Israel marks 9/11

Marking a decade since the series of terror attacks in the United States left thousands dead and wounded, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned that one must realize the entire world is still susceptible to terror attacks. Speaking at Sunday's cabinet meeting Netanyahu said Islamic extremism along with Iran is a threat to the entire world, the stability of the Middle East, Europe and the United States. On Sunday afternoon Knesset members and families of the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks attended a ceremony at the special memorial site in the Jerusalem Forest. The memorial site is the largest outside the United States and is designed as a billowing flag that turns into an eternal flame and is etched with the names of the victims including five Israelis killed in the attacks Alona Avraham, Daniel Mark Levin, Hagai Shefi, Leon Lebor and Shai Levinhar. 2,980 people were killed in the attacks which not only shocked the entire world but marked the beginning of a crackdown on al-Qaida.
