Exclusive: 9/11 family demands justice after remains never ID'd, trials ongoing
Families say 1,100 victims still have not been identified as the Saudi lawsuit moves ahead and Guantanamo trials face more delays.
On Friday, families of 9/11 victims intensified demands for justice as legal efforts against the Saudi government and military trials at Guantanamo Bay remain stalled 25 years after the attacks.
Led by Families United, the lawsuit against Saudi Arabia alleges the government assisted two hijackers upon their arrival in 2000, based on circumstantial evidence from an FBI investigation.
Five conspirators, including mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, face a military trial at Guantanamo Bay slated to begin in 2028, though families anticipate further delays.
Tom Resta, whose brother John Resta and pregnant wife Sylvia San Pio Resta were killed, continues advocating for DNA testing at Fresh Kills, where 1,100 victims remain unidentified.
Families argue the justice system has "failed them," while the Saudi government denies culpability and officials have allegedly sought to protect the government over American families.
