NEW YORK (Reuters): President Joe Biden will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks on the United States on Saturday by visiting each of the sites where hijacked planes crashed in 2001, seeking to honour the victims of the devastating assault.

Biden will begin the day in New York, where he will attend a ceremony at 8.30am EDT at the site where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood before planes struck the two buildings and caused them to collapse.
