New York  - A third tower at the World Trade Center site collapsed due to a fire, not explosives, on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, a news report said Friday.

The 47-storey tower tumbled seven hours after the center's twin towers were attacked by terrorists. No one died as the approximately 4,000 officer workers had been evacuated.

New York - The UN Security Council was to meet later Thursday to discuss the situation on the ground in Georgia, where Russia's armed forces continued their slow withdrawal.

The 15-nation council has two draft resolutions on the situation, from France and Russia, which both aim to resolve the brief war between Russia and Georgia, but with different goals.

France, which holds the current European Union presidency, demands an immediate ceasefire, a definite pullout of Russian troops and respect of Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

(WSJ).
