On Wednesday, the U.S. Secret Service honored the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks but inadvertently included the 19 hijackers in a social media post that has since been deleted.

The flag in our headquarters symbolizes the solemnity of 9/11 and our mission's purpose. It serves as a testament to freedom and sacrifice, honoring the 2,996 lives lost, including our own Master Special Officer Craig T. Miller & Special Agent in Charge Charles L. Friend.

On September 11, 2001, the terrorist attacks resulted in the death of 2,977 individuals in New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. The hijackers seized control of four commercial planes.

The Secret Service's initial figure of 19 hijackers included the 19 hijackers.

Another post with the correct number, 2,977, was posted online after the original one was deleted.

The Secret Service has corrected an earlier version of their post about the Sept 11 attacks. Initially, they mistakenly included the total number of deceased, which included the hijackers, in their tribute to the victims. They sincerely apologize for the error.

The Biden administration reversed its decision on a contentious plea bargain for the terrorists responsible for the attack after facing backlash from the public.
