Terry Strada, widow of one of the victims, called for the declassification of 9\/11 documents and criticized the US government for allegedly protecting Saudi Arabia, which is accused of complicity in the attacks. she highlighted that 15 of the hijackers were Saudi citizens and emphasized ongoing lawsuits against Saudi arabia, accusing it of supporting the hijackers and fostering anti-American terrorism. Strada urged political leaders, including President Trump, to reveal evidence and hold Saudi officials accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Other participants, including relatives of victims, demanded the release of previously classified files linking Saudi Arabia to the attacks.They expressed frustration over decades of alleged cover-ups and called on the US to seek justice. Notable figures like former presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden attended the event.The families are particularly interested in documents related to Saudi support for the hijackers, including support from individuals like Omar al-Bayoumi, accused of assisting the terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the event highlighted new evidence suggesting possible Saudi involvement, calls for clarity, and criticisms of government authorities for withholding data that coudl provide closure. The families and advocates continue to push for the declassification of records that may substantiate claims of Saudi sponsorship and complicity in the 9\/11 attacks.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Relatives of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaeda attacks spoke out at the Ground Zero ceremony Friday marking the 25th anniversary of the terror strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Terry Strada, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/11\/us-news\/sept-11-widow-blasts-saudis-on-25th-anniversary-of-attacks-no-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">widow of Tom Strada<\/a>, who was one of 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees killed after a plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, urged President Donald Trump to declassify and release 9\/11 documents.<\/p>\n<p>Victims\u2019 families are currently suing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, alleging its government was at least complicit and may have played an active role in the attacks.
