Developing
In Short: Terry Strada, national chair of 9/11 Families United, drew applause from families during the reading of 9/11 victims' names, accusing Saudi Arabia of involvement in the attacks.
Terry Strada, national chair of 9/11 Families United, delivered a powerful anti-Saudi Arabia rant during the reading of 9/11 victims' names, drawing applause from families. Speaking after announcing her late husband's name, Strada said, 'You are missed more with each year that passes,' before stating, '25 years, and still we have no justice' for the alleged role Saudi Arabia played in the attacks on September 11, 2001.
Following Strada's remarks, another participant in the ceremony — who identified himself as the nephew of 9/11 victim Lisa Marie Terry — called on President Trump to let the public see any government records related to Saudi Arabia's alleged involvement, using a Trump catchphrase in the process.
