9/11 Family Members Call for Release of Government Documents

In their fight for justice, family members of 9/11 victims are fighting to have the FBI release the names of those who supported the 9/11 hijackers from inside the U.S. At a hearing in New York City on May 13, families demanded the Department of Justice reveal redacted names from FBI transcripts that could show how high-ranking Saudi officials were involved in the attacks. Over 100 family members were in attendance at the hearing. To date, the Department of Justice has refused to allow the release of FBI documents in order to protect a Saudi government official, while citing national security concerns.
