As in past years, thousands were expected to gather at the World Trade Center site in New York, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa., to read the names of nearly 3,000 victims killed in the worst terror attack in U.S. history.

	09/06/2012 Hundreds fired in Afghan insider probe Afghan authorities have detained or removed hundreds of soldiers in an investigation into rising insider attacks against international service personnel who are their supposed partners in the fight against Taliban insurgents and other militants, officials said Wednesday. The crackdown is the result of the Afghan Defense Ministry’s effort to re-evaluate soldiers to stem the attacks, which are complicating plans to train Afghan forces so that most foreign troops can withdraw from the country by the end of 2014. President Hamid Karzai’s government hopes Afghan forces can take responsibility for security nationwide by that time.

	09/04/2012 New Hampshire Prison System Hacked By Inmates Prison inmates in New Hampshire recently breached the state's Corrections Offender Records and Information System (CORIS). "According to the Associated Press, the breach was discovered [on August 24] when a prison staffer saw a cable connecting an inmate computer to that of a staff member's. ... Why inmates had anything close to access to a staff terminal is anyone's guess," writes SecurityNewsDaily's Ben Weitzenkorn. "Prison spokesman Jeffrey Lyons told the AP that the computers are used by about 24 inmates on a closed network for tracking and billing work done in prison."
