Widow of 9/11 Victim Blasts Saudi Arabia, Calls on Trump Administration to Take Action
Terry Strada accused past administrations of shielding Saudi Arabia and said a court has proved the kingdom supported radical Islamist hijackers.
- On Friday, the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Terry Strada, national chair of 9/11 Families United, used the Ground Zero ceremony to publicly criticize successive U.S. administrations for protecting Saudi interests over victims' families' quest for justice.
- Alleging that Saudi Arabia fomented an anti-American culture and supported the hijackers, families have pursued lawsuits for 25 years, while the Saudi government denies involvement and maintains it remains a U.S. ally.
- Facing "repeated obstacles" in obtaining access to materials from U.S. intelligence agencies, attorneys for the families asked lawmakers in July to petition the Public Interest Declassification Board to recommend declassification of sensitive records.
- Vice President JD Vance attended the Ground Zero ceremony, while President Donald Trump marked the anniversary at the Pentagon and has called Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a "very good friend."
- Legal scrutiny will intensify next month when a federal appeals panel in Manhattan hears arguments involving Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national whom families allege provided support to two of the Flight 77 hijackers.
