'Attacks result of US West Asia policy'

The attacks, which began in the morning with two planes crashing into the World Trade Centre in New York within 18 minutes of each other, stunned the US. A third aircraft crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the defence department and the seat of the military power.

Following the attacks, the White House, the state department building, Congress and the United Nations headquarters were immediately evacuated, as were several other federal buildings across the United States.

President George W Bush, in a televised address to the country from Sarasota, Florida, where he was visiting a school, declared that the government would spare no effort to bring the perpetrators to book.
