Biden Orders Release Of Secret 9/11 Documents Over Next Six Months

Joe Biden is responding to pressure from families of some of the approximately 3,000 people killed by Al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001.

US President Joe Biden on Friday ordered declassification over the next six months of still-secret documents from the government investigation into the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Biden is responding to pressure from families of some of the approximately 3,000 people killed by Al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001. They have long argued that the classified documents might contain evidence that the government of Saudi Arabia, a close US ally, had links to the hijackers who flew into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. "Today, I signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice and other relevant agencies to oversee a declassification review of documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's September 11th investigations," Biden said in a statement.
