STORYLINE:
The September 11 attacks were remembered in Baghdad as "God's punishment" on America among Iraqis fearful and angry at the possibility the United States might attack their country in order to topple their president.
Washington accuses Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of harbouring terrorists and possessing weapons of mass destruction.
Iraqi daily newspapers, in front-pages, said the lesson the United States should have drawn from September 11 was that its policies inspired hatred.
Many Arabs have linked September 11 to a sense in the region that Washington unfairly sides with Israel in the Arab-Israeli conflict and that its Iraqi policy has hurt ordinary Iraqis.
