The tragedy in the USA September 11, 2001 shocked the whole world, but ideological contradictions and military strength to this day continue to split it. Such an opinion was expressed by the former ambassador of Argentina in the United States Guillermo Enrique Gonzalez, reports RIA Novosti.
Assessing the consequences of the terrorist attack, the diplomat said that the world community was not enough for lessons from attacks. “This tragedy caused a lot of pain, thousands of deaths and caused a chain reaction to even greater violence and deaths whose consequences are seen to this day,” he concluded.
the ex-ambassador indicated that at that time no one realized the real scale and influence of this catastrophe. “Since then, 20 years have passed, and all that concerns ideology and war, continues to share the whole world,” he stressed.
previously became known that terrorists who organized an attack on New York on September 11, 2001, developed alternative attack plans. The former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Andrei Fedorov said that the militants were also considered the option of the simultaneous explosion of bombs at all metro stations, as well as an explosion in Manhattan “dirty bomb” – devices with radioactive material.
20 years ago, terrorists captured four civil liners. Two of them were sent to the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, one – in the building of the Pentagon, and the latter fell in the field. Alone killed about 2,977 people, more than six thousand were injured.
