A controversial plan to build a mosque has divided relatives of the victims who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The mosque will be close to where the twin towers once stood in New York.

Critics call the location of the proposed Islamic complex "offensive" but others hope it will help to increase understanding between communities.
