Ground Zero rebuild plan scrapped
The owner of the World Trade Center has abandoned the timetable for rebuilding work at the site of the 9/11 attacks, saying it was "not realistic".
New dates for the completion of a memorial, skyscrapers and a transit hub are expected to be issued in September.

The tower, intended as a replacement for the destroyed Twin Towers, had been scheduled for completion in 2006 and then 2011, but the latest estimate is 2013.

NYPD seeks security at ground zero site
Since Sept. 11, 2001, turf wars have flared up between city police and the state-run police force in charge of ground zero security. In recent weeks, the skirmish has heated up.
The city's police department has proposed taking the lead on security at the site, which is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, an agency run by the governors of those states. The New York Police Department's chief concern, officials say, is the risk of truck bomb attacks, particularly at three office towers to be built along reconstructed city streets.
"We have what they have," said Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority's police union. "We have the joint terrorist task force. We have a response team. We have emergency services. We have an aviation unit. We have canines, bomb detection dogs." Since Sept. 11, 2001, turf wars have flared up between city police and the state-run police force in charge of ground zero security.
