NEW YORK: First came the tears, the solemn bugle call and the recital of the names of the dead. Then came the chants, speeches and angry shouts. It was a September 11 anniversary unlike any other. For the first time, politics and rage were an overt part of New York's commemoration of the anniversary of the attacks, an occasion marked in the past only by rituals of sorrow. A morning ceremony on Saturday in which relatives of the victims placed flowers in a reflecting pool and read the names of their loved ones gave way to an afternoon of protests and counter-
demonstrations over a proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero. Some called the rallies a disgraceful intrusion. Indeed, some of the people attending the protests came from far away, and appeared to be drawn only by a deep-rooted dislike of Muslims or passion for liberal causes. But the throngs included an ample number of 9/11 mourners, too, who joined the antimosque crowd of about 1,500 after attending the Ground Zero memorial ceremony. "A lot of people say it's a day of solemn remembrance. But for us, every day is a solemn day," said Al Santora, who lost his firefighter son, Christopher, in the
attacks, and attended the rally with his wife, four daughters and four grandchildren. For a few hours on Saturday morning, the political and cultural furore over whether the proposed Islamic center and mosque belongs so close to the trade center site mostly gave way to the somber anniversary ceremony and pleas from elected officials for religious tolerance. At the other September 11 attack sites, as at Ground Zero, elected leaders sought to remind Americans of the acts of heroism that marked a Tuesday in 2001 and the national show of unity that followed.

'No chance' of another martial law in Pak: Sharif
PESHAWAR: Former Pakistan premier and main opposition PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has said there is "no chance" of imposition of another spell of martial law in the country though steps should be taken to remove corrupt persons from the corridors of power. Sharif made the remarks while interacting with children in the floodhit Charsadda district of KhyberPakhtunkhwa province on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr yesterday. He visited a relief camp and distributed sweets, clothes and gifts among the children. "The failure of the government cannot be described as the failure of the democracy," he said, referring to the criticism of the Pakistan People's Party-led coalition's handling of the floods. Questions were being raised due to the tainted image of some politicians, he said and called on the judiciary and Parliament to throw out corrupt people from politics. Sharif also said that there was "no need" for a military operation in the insur
