Emergency and Internal medicine; in addition, he holds an assistant

Soon after, he was part of the rescue and resuscitation efforts at Ground Zero.
In addition to his duties as physician and mentor for young physicians, Dr.
Khan has been active in the peace movement and in bridging understanding between
mainstream American political thought and the Islamic World. He serves as an
assistant Imam and conducts Friday services in various New York City and Long
Island Mosques (including one in TriBeca, 10 blocks up from the Ground Zero
site.) He represented the Islamic religion at the post 9/11 services at the UN
Chapel. Moreover, Dr. Khan has written and lectured extensively on various
topics having to do with the religion of Islam. His audiences have included
graduate schools, universities, educators, seminaries, various religous

Peace, a group made up of first responders who worked in the World Trade Center
rubble. The group has eight vocal members, and some other members who remain
behind the scene due to job security and harassment concerns. She and her group
have no union support, and no company within the first responder work force has
offered endorsement. Megan currently works for Metro Care Ambulance Corporation,
the largest private ambulance company in New York City; though recent illness
due to exposure to toxic WTC dust has left her unable to work.

On
November 19, 2004, the "Justice for 9/11" Steering Committee
submitted a Citizens' Complaint and Petition to the offices of the
Attorney General of New York State, Eliot Spitzer, citing probable cause
for an independent grand jury investigation to examine unsolved crimes
committed in connection with the events of September 11, 2001. We
are publishing the complete Complaint and Petition
online in this space as a living, growing document.
Nine members of September 11 families, Ground Zero first responders, and
citizens of New York have signed
on as the first complainants. We call on citizens to support this
action, to initiate similar actions in other states, and to sign the
online petition of solidarity.
