Opinion | Marty and Dennis McGinley: The 9/11 attacks, 20 years on: A victim's family reflects on justice delayed. - NBCNewsTHINK
Ever since Daniel’s death, we have searched for answers, joining thousands of other members of the 9/11 community in seeking justice.Marty and Dennis McGinley, brothers to 9/11 victim Daniel McGinley
Our brother, Daniel — a devoted father, husband and coach — was in the south tower of the World Trade Center, working as a trader for Keefe, Bruyette & Woods on the 89th floor, when it collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001. While the events of that tragic day are embedded in the hearts and minds of all Americans, we still do not know the full truth of who is responsible for one of the darkest moments in our nation’s history.
While some of the links between Saudi Arabia and 9/11 are well known, like the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi Arabian, other ties are less known or hidden entirely. Ever since Daniel’s death, we have searched for answers. A few years ago, our family decided to join thousands of other members of the 9/11 community in seeking justice. While the individual hijackers all died in the attacks, many entities that supported them have never been called to account.
As part of this lawsuit, many in the 9/11 community have called for the release of various classified materials, including theof the FBI’s yearslong investigation into the Saudi role, commonly referred to as Operation Encore, as well as phone records, deposition transcripts and other information the FBI and the kingdom are withholding. We believe these documents will reveal evidence detailing Saudi Arabia’s role in the attacks.
