The 9/11 families also have every right to be pissed as well. Will we ever know the Saudi government’s role?
The families of Sept. 11, 2001, victims on Tuesday condemned President Trump’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in the decades-old terror attacks.
“The crown prince knows nothing of the pain of the 9/11 families,” Terry Strada, national chair of the 9/11 Families United, said in a statement to The Hill. “He is actively working to impede our efforts to ensure extensive evidence of Saudi government support for al-Qaeda and the terrorist hijackers are brought to light, harboring a former agent that produced a casing video of the U.S. Capitol building, and trying to rewrite history with investments.”
“We aren’t buying it, our allies in Congress aren’t buying it, and neither are the American people,” Strada added.
Strada was reacting to specific remarks made by Bin Salman.
Bin Salman during a press appearance with Trump said he felt “pain about the families of 9/11 in America” after an ABC News reporter said the victims of families were “furious” about his Oval Office visit.
The crown prince said that “we have to focus on reality” and claimed opponents of his kingdom were interfering with Saudi and American relations.
During the meeting, Bin Salman said that U.S. and Saudi intelligence found that Osama bin Laden hire Saudi citizens to cause a riff between the two countries. Saudi Arabia has sought to get civil case from the families against the country’s government ended.
