    NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (news - web sites) on Tuesday declared the lower part of Manhattan off limits to civilians until at least Thursday after an attack destroyed both towers of the World Trade Center and caused what he called a ``horrendous number of lives lost.'' ``We don't have a count yet (on fatalities) and we really don't want to hazard a guess until some time later,'' Giuliani told a news conference. ``When we get the final number, it will be more than we can bear,'' he said. He added the area of Lower Manhattan ...

    WASHINGTON (AP) &#151; U.S. officials began piecing together a case linking Osama bin Laden to the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, aided by an intercept of communications between his supporters and harrowing cell phone calls from victims aboard the jetliners before they crashed on Tuesday. Authorities were focusing some of their efforts on possible bin Laden supporters in Florida based on the identification of a suspected hijacker on one of the manifests of the four jets that crashed, law enforcement officials said. The FBI was preparing to search locations in Broward County in south Florida and the Daytona ...

    Some poll results after Tuesday's terror attacks. The CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll interviewed 619 adults. The ABC-Washington Post poll interviewed 608 adults. Each had an error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points: &#151;&#151; CNN-USA TODAY-GALLUP &#151;More than half, 55 percent, said they thought Tuesday's attacks represent the beginning of a sustained terrorist campaign against the United States that will continue for several weeks. Three in 10 disagreed. &#151;Almost nine of 10 said they considered the attacks an ``act of war.'' &#151;About half were very confident in President Bush's ability to handle the situation. Another third were somewhat confident. ...

    Tuesday September 11 12:13 PM ET Angry Putin Calls for World Response to Terror MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin told President Bush he was deeply shocked over ``barbarous terrorist acts'' in the United States on Tuesday and called for coordinated international action against terrorism. Planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon outside Washington in what Bush called an apparent terrorist attack. In a telegram that began ``Dear George,'' Putin said ''barbarous terrorist acts aimed against wholly innocent people cause us anger and indignation.'' ``I ask you to pass on our deepest sympathies ...

    t kept getting worse. The horror arrived in episodic bursts of chilling disbelief, signified first by trembling floors, sharp eruptions, cracked windows. There was the actual unfathomable realization of a gaping, flaming hole in first one of the tall towers, and then the same thing all over again in its twin. There was the merciless sight of bodies helplessly tumbling out, some of them in flames. Finally, the mighty towers themselves were reduced to nothing. Dense plumes of smoke raced through the downtown avenues, coursing between the buildings, shaped like tornadoes on their sides. Every sound was cause for ...

    ASHINGTON, Sept. 11 — Addressing the nation from the Oval Office, a somber President Bush vowed tonight that the United States would hunt down and punish those responsible for the "evil, despicable acts of terror" which he said took thousands of American lives. He said the United States would make no distinction between those who carried out the hijackings and those who harbored and supported them. "These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat, but they have failed," the president said. "Our country is strong. Terrorist acts can shake the foundation of ...

    Summary The attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., have sent shockwaves across the nation. While international Islamic terrorists organizations linked to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qa'ida group remain the top suspects, some have suggested nations opposed to U.S. global hegemony may also have been involved. Historically, international terrorism has needed state sponsorship in order to be successful. But such involvement would be tantamount to declaring war on the United States, and although the suspect list is long, there is little evidence at the moment that singles any one country out. Analysis ...

    ASHINGTON, Sept. 11 — A hijacked passenger plane sliced into the Pentagon today, triggering a thunderous explosion and fierce fires at the defense complex and killing and wounding an unknown number of people. The surprise terrorist assault, the first in the history of the 58-year-old building, came within an hour of the attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center and set off a state of emergency in the nation's capital that swiftly shut down the government. All federal office buildings were closed, and F-16 fighter jets and helicopters were dispatched to police the skies. Smoke engulfing ...

    ASHINGTON, Sept. 11 — Today's devastating and astonishingly well-coordinated attacks on the World Trade Center towers in New York and on the Pentagon outside of Washington plunged the nation into a warlike struggle against an enemy that will be hard to identify with certainty and hard to punish with precision. The whole nation — to a degree the whole world — shook as hijacked airliners plunged into buildings that symbolize the financial and military might of the United States. The sense of security and self-confidence that Americans take as their birthright suffered a grievous blow, from which recovery will ...

    ijackers rammed jetliners into each of New York's World Trade Center towers yesterday, toppling both in a hellish storm of ash, glass, smoke and leaping victims, while a third jetliner crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia. There was no official count, but President Bush said thousands had perished, and in the immediate aftermath the calamity was already being ranked the worst and most audacious terror attack in American history. The attacks seemed carefully coordinated. The hijacked planes were all en route to California, and therefore gorged with fuel, and their departures were spaced within an hour and 40 minutes. ...
