Niece of 9/11 Victim Makes Appeal for Peace 
--------------------------------------------


 
At the World Trade Center, 9/11 families continued the annual tradition
of reading each victim's name out loud. After honoring her slain uncle,
15-year-old Brooklyn teenager Brittney Cofresi made an appeal for peace
as the United States considers military action against Syria.

Brittney Cofresi: "My uncle, Salvatore Papasso. I was only three when
you were taken from us, and we miss you very much. And President Obama,
please do not bring us to another war."
