Canada's CBC issued an internal memo telling journalists not to call the 9/11 attacks "terrorist attacks" in their own voice ahead of the 25th anniversary.

The memo directed staff to describe the events factually: the hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan.

The word "terrorist" should appear only with attribution to officials or experts.

The broadcaster says this is longstanding policy shared by the BBC, AP, Reuters and AFP.
