Bin Laden lives six years after attacks?

Zabie Mansoory • September 11, 2007

Six years ago, I was in homeroom class when I heard about the tragic news of Sept. 11. Later that week, I found out that the country where I lived most of my life was being bombed because some so-called Muslim living in a cave gave the go-ahead.
