The perpetrators of the 9/11 terrorist attacks failed to undermine freedom and democracy and failed to make the world live in fear, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a message marking the 20th anniversary of the attack.

He said the terrorists “tried to destroy the faith of free peoples everywhere in the open societies which terrorists despise and which we cherish.”
