In the United States, worship services Sunday were expected to center on the tragedy that left thousands dead or missing, damaged the nation's military headquarters and toppled the massive twin towers of New York's World Trade Center.

That has prompted the FBI and police to widen the search area beyond the immediate crash site. A second person whom authorities were seeking as a material witness in the attacks was arrested Saturday and held in FBI custody in New York, a Justice Department official said. (Full story)
