Washington: President Barack Obama marked the 12th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House.
Mr Obama, along with first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden, walked out of the White House at 8:46 am EDT, the moment the first plane hit the World Trade Center tower in New York a dozen years ago.
They bowed their heads to observe a moment of silence, which was followed by a bugler playing taps.
The president will attend a September 11 ceremony at the Pentagon later today. He also plans to mark the anniversary by participating in a volunteer project.
