‘How can it be 25 years and we still have no justice?’ Terry Strada asked from the stage, addressing the US leaders present

A 9/11 widow interrupted Friday's annual reading of victims' names at Ground Zero in New York City to accuse Saudi Arabia of complicity in the al Qaeda terror attacks that claimed thousands of innocent lives.

After announcing the name of her late husband, Tom Strada, Terry Strada said he was “missed more with each year that passes.”

Strada then drew applause when she asked “how can it be 25 years and we still have no justice” for the alleged role that Saudi Arabia played in the attacks on September 11, 2001.

“It's been one betrayal after another,” she said. She also called on Vice President JD Vance to convey her message to President Donald Trump, who was not in attendance, and to “stand with the families.”
