Twenty-one years ago the attack on the Twin Towers. But the minds of the massacre have not yet been tried

The United States commemorates the twenty-first anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. But in mourning for the 2,977 victims of jihadist terrorism on the "day that changed the world", when two planes were crashed into the Twin Towers of New York - this year also the controversy joins.

After more than four decades from the apocalyptic attack hatched by Al Qaeda , the trials of the "minds" of the plan to hit America in the heart have not yet been celebrated .

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other prominent terrorists linked to the attack, held in the maximum security prison in Guantanamo , Cuba, are still awaiting trial , with hearings repeatedly canceled or postponed.

A setback for the families of the victims , who are still waiting for justice.

In recent days James Connell , one of the lawyers of the terrorists in prison, said the parties are still trying to reach a preliminary agreement in order to avoid a trial to get to the lesser but equally long sentences.

David Kelley , the former New York attorney who co-chaired the Justice Department's national investigation into the attacks, called delays as " failure to pursue a horrific tragedy."

But the families of the victims of the Twin Towers also protest against the current mayor of New York Eric Adams , for a women's golf tournament organized in the Big Apple at Donald Trump 's club, sponsored by Saudi Arabia .

Fifteen of the 19 9/11 attackers were Saudis and in many investigations into the attack the Arab state was directly or indirectly brought into play.

For this reason, the relatives of those who lost their lives in the towers asked Adams to cancel the event, out of respect.

For its part, the mayor's administration explained that its hands were tied and that it could neither legally stop the event, authorized when his predecessor Bill de Blasio was in charge, nor break the contract with the Trump Organization.
