The world's worst terrorist attack is making news around the world. This is a selection of headlines from Wednesday morning.
In America
Has the headline World Trade Center Leveled, Pentagon Hit in Terrorist Acts.
In the paper's opinion column it urges Bush to act quickly:" The Bush administration must move aggressively, as it did yesterday, to defend the country against possible follow-up attacks.
"And with soberness and determination, the nation must prepare itself to fight its first war of the new century -- one that will begin with identifying and punishing the authors of yesterday's mass murder, but one that must continue until the sources of support for the terrorists have been eliminated and the country's defenses against such unconventional warfare decisively strengthened."
Has the headline "U.S Attacked - a grim day of terror in New York and Washington".
And its opinion piece contemplates America's position in the world: "Commentators throughout the day yesterday dwelled on the scale of the planning this terrorist mission must have required. But it is just as important to consider the intensity of the hatred it took to bring it off.
"It is a hatred that exceeds the conventions of warfare, that knows no limits, abides by no agreements. We had presumed that the very excess of such emotions made them erratic, that instability and inefficiency were securely coupled. But that was when we lived on the other side of history's rift."
In Britain
The Manchester Evening News.
Has the headline "Alive from this"
The comment piece remarks on the unexpected nature of the attacks: "It is astonishing and ominous for democratic nations around the world that a terrorist operation that required such a degree of co-operation and was probably months, if not years, in the planning, came as such a devastating surprise.
Why was there no warning?"
The leading article is headlined "Terror for all The day that changed the modern world" and says: "The American dream itself was the target of yesterday's co-ordinated and deadly terrorist attacks on the most potent symbols of Western political, commercial and military power.
"But it was more than that; it was an attack on civilised liberal society, designed to force all countries that could conceivably be targets to become, in self-defence, high security states. Very few events, however dramatic, change the political landscape. This will."
The "Voice of the Mirror" declares "It's time for reason not retribution" and says:"This is what happens when hate becomes uncontrollable in a world in which mass destruction is so simple."
Elsewhere
Doesn't carry any reference to the attack but instead carries the warning: "Please note: Afghanistan Online is private website operated from within the United States. We are not a Government run website. We do not support any act of terrorism; we condemn it in all its forms."
Has the headline "President Arafat and the Palestinian Leadership
condemned Tuesday's criminal attacks in the United States" which tops the lead story which quotes Arafat telling reporters in Gaza:"It's very difficult for me and for anyone to speak about what happened.
"It's not only against the American people and against America, it's against international humanity. Something is touching my heart."
Who was responsible?
Has the headline: "Terror suspects ID'd" on it's lead story, which reports that authorities in Massachusetts have identified suspects, who they believe were involved in the hijacking of planes from Boston's Lonan International Airport.
"Authorities in Massachusetts identified at least five Arab men as suspects in yesterday's terror attacks launched from Logan International Airport, seizing in the central parking garage a car laden with Arabic-language flight training manuals, sources said last night.
Two of the men, whose passports were traced to the United Arab Emirates, were brothers, one of whom was a trained pilot, a source told the Herald, speaking on condition of anonymity.
At least two other suspects flew to Logan yesterday from Portland, Maine, where authorities believe they had travelled after crossing over from Canada recently."
