At least two workers were killed and 57 injured when a fire broke out on Thursday in a tower block under construction in Dubai, the trading hub of the United Arab Emirates, state news agency WAM said. An official at Rashid hospital said four workers were killed in the fire.

Al-Qaeda marked the fifth anniversary of September 11 by posting video footage of Osama bin Laden exhorting the attackers to be patient in their preparations and to steel themselves for ”martyrdom”. In the edited footage, the picture of the blazing twin towers and the Pentagon building hit on the same day were used as a background.
