In it, he said he has “deep sympathy” for the families of 9/11 victims and is “strongly committed” to helping them seek justice. WASHINGTON ― President Barack Obama vetoed legislation on Friday that lets the families of 9/11 victims sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged role in the terrorist attacks. The bill prevents Saudi Arabia and other countries with alleged ties to terrorist groups from invoking their legal immunity in U.S. courts. Saudi Arabia denies any role in the 9/11 attacks, though 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens. They say the warnings are overblown and that 9/11 victims deserve justice.
