A quarter of a century ago today, the world witnessed a devastating series of attacks on the United States that would change the lives of millions across the globe, setting off a vicious cycle of violence that continues to reverberate.

We had been sheltering there since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and could not return because of the civil war and the subsequent Taliban rule.
