U.S. President Joe Biden marked the 21st anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, taking part in a sombre wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon held under a steady rain and paying tribute to "extraordinary Americans" who gave their lives on one of the country's darkest days.Republicans criticized president's withdrawal from Afghanistan on 21st anniversary of Sept. 11 attacksU.S. President Joe Biden speaks during a ceremony at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
Biden noted that even after the United States left Afghanistan that his administration continues to pursue those responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Last month, Biden announced the U.S. had killed Ayman al-Zawahri, the al-Qaeda leader who helped plot the Sept. 11 attacks, in a clandestine operation. First responders stand in a driving rain as a U.S. flag is unfurled at the Pentagon in Washington on Sunday, at sunrise on the morning of the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"Now, one year on from last August's disaster, the devastating scale of the fallout from President Biden's decision has come into sharper focus," the Republican from Kentucky said. "Afghanistan has become a global pariah. Its economy has shrunk by nearly a third. Half of its population is now suffering critical levels of food insecurity."
