US House Allows 9/11 Victims |
US House Allows 9/11 Victims To Sue Saudi Arabia, Bill Heads To Barack Obama
|
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
, 9-September-2016
12:16:20 PM |
The House of Representatives passed legislation Friday that would allow victims of the 9/11 attacks and their relatives sue foreign governments suspected of backing acts of terrorism against the United States.
The bill -- approved in the House by a voice vote some four months after its Senate passage -- is strongly opposed by the government of Saudi Arabia, the home nation of 15 of the 19 hijackers in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
It now heads to President Barack Obama's desk, just days before the 15th anniversary of the attacks. The White House has signaled its opposition to the measure.
