Light display in New York, 11 Mar 2002
Marking the sixth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, two powerful beacons of light are now soaring above the New York City skyline. 

They are meant to fill the void where the two destroyed World Trade Center buildings once stood. The lights were turned on late Monday. 

At the White House Monday, President Bush used the anniversary pay tribute to terrorist victims and said the anti-terror war has just entered its second phase. 

Standing in front of the flags of 170 nations, Mr. Bush called on the world to deny sanctuary to terrorists. He also singled out for praise Germany, Denmark, and Afghanistan -- nations that have lost soldiers in the war.

 Earlier Monday, New Yorkers observed two moments of silence at the exact time six months ago that terrorist hijacked planes hit the World Trade Center towers.

 Bells tolled in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where a hijacked plane apparently headed for Washington crashed. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld led a memorial service at the Pentagon, which was also struck by a hijacked jet.
