New York City honors victims of 1993 World Trade Center bombing

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City has marked the anniversary of the 1993 bombing at the old World Trade Center. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 injured when the bomb detonated in an underground garage. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey held a memorial Mass on Monday at St. Peter’s Church in Manhattan. A bell tolled at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to mark the time of the attack, followed by a moment of silence honoring the victims. The attack was carried out by Islamic extremists who sought to punish the U.S. for its Middle East policies.
