As the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is commemorated in the United States, the families of the victims of this heartbreaking incident express dissatisfaction with the very long delay in Saudi Arabia's response to allegations of supporting the perpetrators of these attacks. Terry Strada, whose husband was killed in these attacks, emphasized as the national chair of the 9/11 victims' families that enough time has passed for Saudi Arabia to be tried as the main perpetrator of this tragedy.
Feelings of Despair and Hope for Justice
Strada expressed her frustration with the lengthy process of this case, stating, "I feel like several lifetimes have passed to make progress in this area." She also noted that she still hopes for justice and continues legal efforts to achieve a reasonable level of justice through the country's judicial system. This issue becomes particularly significant in the days leading up to the anniversary of the attacks.
The families of the victims have sharply criticized Saudi Arabia's actions, demanding accountability and transparency in this case. They emphasize that the covert support of this country for terrorists must be thoroughly investigated, given the existing evidence and documentation. In this regard, a case referring to allegations against Saudi Arabia will soon reach the trial stage.
Concerns About Injustice
The families are also worried that if this process does not yield results, not only will justice for the victims be delayed, but there will also be serious consequences for U.S. national security. They believe that Saudi Arabia's lack of accountability could lead to the continuation of similar behaviors in the future.
Ultimately, the families of the 9/11 victims, despite all the difficulties and challenges, have not lost hope for achieving justice and continue their efforts. They believe that this case is important not only for themselves but for all those affected by this incident and must be pursued at all costs.
