The families of 9/11 victims want one thing — justice.

They are fighting in a Manhattan federal court for permission to sue Saudi Arabia. Yes, permission is required because a judge must now decide whether the case can continue.

They want someone to listen to them about all that went horribly wrong on Sept. 11, 2001, and they’re asking President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to help them. The appeal comes as the president lands in the Middle East today.

“It has been nearly twenty-four years since 2,977 of our loved ones, including our parents, spouses, children, siblings, friends, and neighbors, were brutally murdered in the worst terrorist attack in American history,” Brett Eagleson writes to the president in a letter he shared with the Herald.

“You have a chance to do what Presidents Bush, Obama, and Biden did not,” he tells the two leaders. “You can stand with 9/11 families and demand that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia extradite Omar al-Bayoumi to face justice in an American courtroom. That would be a powerful statement and the first real step toward closure in more than two decades.”

The Herald has covered Eagleson’s crusade, and we will continue to do so to the very end. He and all the other 9/11 kin deserve nothing less.

The Herald will never forget because that’s how we think. There’s hardly ever an end when you lose a loved one to violence or some other tragedy. But there’s an opportunity, sometimes, to learn from the mistakes.

That’s all this young man, who lost his dad at the Twin Towers in New York City, is asking for. If America can go to war over the terror attacks, why can’t these loved ones seek justice in a court?

“We are especially concerned that while 9/11 families continue to wait for justice, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is gaining greater influence. From your upcoming state visit to recent Oval Office meetings with LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, it is clear that Saudi Arabia is at the table,” Eagleson writes to the president and vice president.

The Israel-Gaza war ceasefire talks, oil, trade, investment deals, and the potential for new policy developments in the areas of advanced semiconductor exports and nuclear programs are all on the agenda, CNBC reports.

We’re urging the president to add one more topic, the extradition of Omar al-Bayoumi.

Al Bayoumi was seen on video casing the Capitol in the summer of 1999, pointing out Congress, the Washington Monument, the skyline and jotting down in a notebook a formula to calculate the rate of descent. He was on a student visa and has long since returned to the kingdom.

The 9/11 Commission was never aware of this evidence, and it is now part of the lawsuit Eagleson is party to.

The Saudi government has stated no government officials, “senior or otherwise — gave any ‘direction’ to Omar Al Bayoumi … to ‘assist’ … 9/11 hijackers.” Any contact, the Saudis add, was “innocent motives … to help fellow Saudis” new to San Diego.

Of all the 19 hijackers, 15 of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia. They were all affiliated with al Qaeda and hijacked four jets.

It’s a day we will never forget. We join in Brett Eagleson’s request for justice.
