The firefighters who lost their lives in New York died in an attempt to save others, but their ultimate ends were the work of a handful of religiously drunk men whose purpose was death itself. The attackers had no tactical or strategic goal other than death. The targets, although large, were not crucial to America’s ability to fight back.

The driver - who failed to appear at his trial - saw his initial six-month suspended jail sentence lowered to three on appeal, and the 15-month driving prohibition lifted completely.
