As time goes on, more and more it looks like 9/11 truthers were on to something. 23 years later, going into a presidential election cycle, right after one of the candidates and former president was literally almost assassinated, this news quietly drops with no fanfare.
The defendants are accused of providing training, financial support and other assistance to the 19 terrorists who hijacked passenger jets and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 11, 2001.
The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people in the worst terror attack on U.S. soil in American history. Loved ones of the victims expressed outrage upon hearing news of the deal.
Jim Smith, a retired police officer and husband of Moira Smith, the only female NYPD officer who died on 9/11, told the newspaper that "I feel like I was kicked."
"The prosecution and families have waited 23 years to have our day in court to put on the record what these animals did to our loved ones. They took that opportunity away from us," he said. "They committed the worst crime in the history of our country, they should receive the highest penalty."
"I am very disappointed. We waited patiently for a long time. I wanted the death penalty — the government has failed us," Daniel D’Allara, whose twin brother, John, was an NYPD cop killed in the attacks, told The Post.
