After a decade of grief and recovery, nation remembers 9/11

New York (CNN) -- Thousands gathered Sunday morning at New York's Ground Zero and stood still in silence, some crying as they listened to the names of victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks read aloud.
"They were our neighbors, our friends, our wives, children and parents," said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who, along with President Barack Obama, helped lead the commemoration on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
The solemn ceremony at the site of the World Trade Center came amid a heavy security presence permeating the area in lower Manhattan, as authorities continued their search for possible plotters of another terrorist strike.
Information considered credible but unconfirmed indicated up to three attackers could be trying to use an explosives-laden vehicle for an attack in New York or Washington, according to various sources. Authorities stressed that while they were taking information of a possible attack plot seriously, there was no evidence so far that an actual terrorist operation was underway.
