Dear readers,
Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, a growing number of New Yorkers have no personal memory of the day that reshaped their city and the United States. As survivors, witnesses, and first responders grow older, our reporters spoke with young people born after the attacks about what 9/11 means to a generation that knows it mostly through school lessons, family stories, and annual commemorations.
We also examined how Morocco has become increasingly assertive on the international stage, buoyed by support from Washington and Israel. The shift has strengthened Rabat’s position on key regional disputes while raising tensions with neighboring Algeria and reshaping diplomatic dynamics across North Africa.
In other news, we revisited one of Latin America's darkest and most improbable chapters: the alliance between Bolivia’s "King of Cocaine" and a former Gestapo officer that helped turn the country into what many historians consider the world’s first narco-state. The story reads like fiction, but it is rooted in a period whose consequences continue to reverberate today.
And we also looked at a booming global black market that targets humanity’s shared heritage. From Spain’s Treasure of Villena to the French Crown Jewels, stolen artifacts can fetch enormous sums, feeding a sophisticated criminal network that robs countries of irreplaceable pieces of their history.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS US Edition.
