Muslim students share in the
outrage and disbelief of fellow
Americans.
“I have friends and relatives
in New York, and I’ve been call

Rahman said. ”We’re on the
same side, we’re victims too.”
Islamic extremists who com
mit acts of terrorism in the name
of their religion are misguided,
Haque said, and are not repre
sentative of the Muslim faithful.
“You shouldn’t judge a reli
gion by the misdeeds of its fol
lowers,” Haque said. “If they
(terrorists) did it in the name
of Islam, that’s garbage,
because that has nothing to do
with Islam.”

NEW YORK (AP) —
Rescuers dug for bodies in the
World Trade Center’s smoking
rubble as a shaken nation strug
gled Wednesday to recover from
an airborne attack that shut down
the financial capital, badly dam
aged the Pentagon and left hund-
eds, perhaps, thousands, dead.
“It is unimaginable, devas
tating, unspeakable carnage,”
said Scott O’Grady, a firefighter.
“To say it looks like a war zone
and to tell you about bodies
lying in the street and blood and
steel beams blocking roads
would not begin to describe
what it’s like. It’s horrible.”
New York was the hardest hit
target in Tuesday’s coordinated
assault on American govern
ment and finance, which
grounded the nation’s commer
cial aircraft and led President
Bush to place the military on its
highest state of alert.
Just as the work day began,
a hijacked jet tore through one
of the I 10-story twin towers.
Another followed, striking the
other tower in a fireball 18
minutes later.
A third jet struck the
Pentagon at 9:40 a.m. A fourth
hijacked airliner plummeted to
earth about 80 miles southeast
of Pittsburgh.
The twin towers collapsed by
10:30 a.m. in horrifying clouds
of gray smoke.

NEW YORK (AP) — Even as they
scrambled to flee World Trade Center offices,
workers paused to count heads, making sure
their deskmates were there. Construction
workers cobbled together stretchers from
materials at their Manhattan worksite. On the

and sang “God Bless America.”

the Rev. Murray Gerald, who was called to
St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan.
At the Hilton Hotel at Boston’s Logan
Airport, where clergymen rushed to be w ith
relatives of passengers on two airliners that
crashed into the World Trade Center, the
Rev. David Keene said much the same.
“Mostly we listen and hug,” he added.
People at the scenes of devastation and
beyond reached out to each other and tried
to make sense of it all.
Jason Beerman rushed toward the twin

the attacks. But how could he find his older
