New York’s September 11 museum to play martyrdom tapes

But former New York Governor George Pataki canceled the Freedom Center after critics, including survivors and relatives of the nearly 3,000 who died, said the museum should instead be dedicated exclusively to the day known as 9/11 and the 1993 truck bombing of the World Trace Center.

As an example of what will be included, Daniels said the 1979 invasion of the Soviet Union by Afghanistan was vital in understanding “the roots of Al Qaeda.”

I would expect better editing that this:
1) “…World Trace Center.”
2) “…Daniels said the 1979 invasion of the Soviet Union by Afghanistan…”

Since when did Afghanistan invade the Soviet Union in ’79?
