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, “You are missed more with each year that passes.” Strada, the national chair of 9/11 Families United, then sparked applause by saying, “But how can it be 25 years and still we have no justice” for the alleged role Saudi Arabia played in the attacks on September 11, 2001. She also accused the kingdom of having “fomented a rancid culture of anti-American terrorism around the globe” and of having “sent its agents to support the radical Islamic hijackers” who flew passenger planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

Strada then turned her ire on unidentified U.S. government officials. Strada also asked Vice President JD Vance, who was in the audience, to “carry that message back” to the White House. Stand with the survivors.

Stand with Americans,” she said.
