Senators from both sides of the aisle overruled President Barack Obama's veto of the 9/11 lawsuit bill, which would allow lawsuits against perceived foreign sponsors of terrorism, in Washington DC on Wednesday. Family members of the victims of the 9/11 attacks can now sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in the attack. The House of Representatives is expected to ratify the vote, setting up a historical defeat for the Obama administration.
The United States commemorates the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with a moment of silence observed in somber remembrance at Ground Zero in New York, where nearly 3,000 people were killed. Saint Paul's Chapel situated directly across from the World Trade Center and which served as a relief mission for the rescue and recovery workers at Ground Zero, rang its Bell of Hope in the traditional firefighters’ salute to the fallen at precisely the time of the first plane crash into the North Tower.
