The number of 9/11 responders who have been diagnosed with cancer more than doubled this past year, according to the latest report. The World Trade Center Health Program reported to the NY Post that 1,655 responders have been diagnosed with cancer, bringing the total to 2,518. Cops, firefighters, EMT’s, construction workers, sanitation workers and volunteers are all included in the group of those with cancer. More.

Stroudsburg, Monroe County – The number of people reporting September 11th related cancer and illnesses is growing rapidly. The New York Post reports more than 2,500 Ground Zero first responders now have cancer. Dave Carbone of Monroe County is one of them. He recalled that Tuesday morning, "When you pulled up it was like oh my God, where are the buildings? They were gone. It was just a big pile of rubble." More.

The National September 11 Memorial and Museum can continue to display the crucifix-shaped beams found in the rubble of the World Trade Center in its "Finding Meaning" exhibition, the 2nd Circuit ruled on Monday. Two days after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, construction worker Frank Silecchia found the 17-foot steel beams shaped like a cross, and brought them to the attention of other workers. The artifact soon became a focal point at many religious services held at Ground Zero. More.

September 11th victims and their families are losing out on deserved tax breaks because of Internal Revenue Service failures. The Victims of Terrorism Tax Relief law says disability income resulting from a terror attack is not taxable. The 2002 statute also says families of those who died as a result of the attacks are entitled a refund of at least $10,000 dollars. More.

Victims of the 9/11 attacks and their families are entitled to big tax breaks, but many are missing out because the IRS isn’t telling them about the benefit. Under a law passed months after the attacks, disability income resulting from terrorism is not taxable. That means thousands of cops, firefighters and other first responders sickened after working at the site, and the families of those who’ve died, can claim $10,000, or the last three years of taxes the victim paid, whichever amount is larger.

The number of first responders suffering from cancer after inhaling 9/11 fumes has more than doubled since last year, according to a new report. Some 1,655 cops, city workers, volunteers and locals exposed to toxins from the collapse of the World Trade Center have been diagnosed with the deadly disease, according to Mount Sinai Hospital's World Trade Center Health Program, which tracks the health of 37,000 first responders.

A military judge ruled Thursday that one of the five defendants being tried at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for their alleged roles in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks be severed from the proceeding. The decision delivers another in a series of delays to the government’s effort to prosecute Ramzi Binalshibh, a Yemeni described as a key figure in the plot who acted as a liaison between the hijackers and al-Qaeda’s leadership in Afghanistan.

The terrorist threat against the U.S. remains dangerous 10 years after the 9/11 Commission issued its first report -- only now the risk is greater online. In a report issued today, panel members who studied the 2001 attacks urge Congress to enact cybersecurity legislation, the White House to communicate the consequences of potential cyber-attacks to Americans, and leaders to work with allies to define what constitutes an online attack on another country.
