Relative of 9/11 victim unleashes searing attack on Saudi Arabia

Terry Strada, whose husband died on 9/11, said a court had proved Saudi Arabia backed the hijackers and accused U.S. leaders of protecting the kingdom.

  • On Friday, Terry Strada, chair of 9/11 Families United, delivered a searing critique of Saudi Arabia during the anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City, demanding accountability for the kingdom's alleged role in the 2001 attacks.
  • Strada, whose husband Tom Strada died in the attacks, has spearheaded efforts to declassify government records and hold Saudi Arabia legally responsible, citing court findings that the kingdom allegedly supported the radical Islamist hijackers.
  • Addressing former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden at the ceremony, Strada accused successive administrations of "betrayal" for protecting the Saudis instead of supporting 9/11 families over 25 years.
  • Strada directly urged Vice President Vance to tell President Donald Trump that the Saudis must "stop lying" and acknowledge their alleged role in the attacks, or the USA cannot maintain friendship with the kingdom.
  • President Donald Trump marked the anniversary separately at the Pentagon, highlighting tensions between pursuing justice for 9/11 victims and maintaining the USA's long-standing military and diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia.
