Imam Iliyasi, from India, reflects on the effects of the attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States, in an interview with Al Jazeera.

On September 11th I was in Washington, the atmosphere in the city had changed I was trying to catch a flight out, but all flights were cancelled, and it took me fifteen days to get back to Delhi. The impact of the attacks is that the world have stood up against terrorism.
