US President Barack Obama has sparked fury amongst families of 9/11 victims by comparing the terrorist attack to the BP oil spill. Mr Obama said there were 'echoes' between the Gulf disaster and the terror plot, which killed 2,995 people including 67 Britons. He said that in the same way 9/11 has dominated foreign policy since it happened, the Gulf disaster will frame how America sees the environment and energy for years.
