Obama in tribute to 9/11 victims
US President Barack Obama has paid tribute to the victims of the 11 September 2001 attacks.
Nearly 3,000 people died when the four planes crashed in New York, at the Pentagon and in a Pennsylvania field.
Speaking at the Pentagon on the eighth anniversary, Mr Obama vowed to "never falter" in pursuit of al-Qaeda.
As the ceremonies were held, it was reported that the US Coast Guard was conducting a training exercise on Washington DC's Potomac River.
Earlier reports suggested that shots were fired at a suspicious vessel on the river, but officials from the Department of Homeland Security denied this, telling the BBC the Coast Guard exercises were a daily occurrence.
