20 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US, the families of the victims who died on that tragic day are still left in the dark of what transpired behind the events. This time, officials in the US under the administration of President Joe Biden have pledged to make a review of the classified documents pertaining to the 9/11 attacks.
This week, officials have pledged to conduct a review of all the classified documents related to the September 11 attacks for a possible public release. This move follows years of appeals by the families of the victims, including lawmakers, to release the documents to reveal the full information behind what happened leading up to and on that day. The Justice Department has also pledged to conduct the same review.
In a letter to the US Attorney for the southern district of New York, the FBI said that it has decided to review the prior privilege of not publicly disclosing certain documents and information and will identify which pieces of information could be made public. The letter stated that FBI agents would be disclosing the information to the public “on a rolling basis as expeditiously as possible.”
The DOJ and the FBI’s pledge also comes as families of the victims have waged a legal battle against the federal agencies over the disclosure of the documents and information. During this legal battle, previous administrations have cited state secrecy as a reason not to make public the documents related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
This also follows a letter signed by the families of the victims, telling Biden not to pay his respects at Ground Zero unless he orders the public disclosure of the documents. The group is also asking the Biden administration to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for its possible involvement in the terrorist attacks. The letter noted that both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have previously urged prior administrations to declassify information but have not succeeded.
They also referenced a campaign promise Biden made that he would order the DOJ to release the records. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week that Biden is committed to pulling through with that pledge.
