response to a lawsuit relatives of the victims of September 11, 2001, the airline companies claimed that the attacks have been successful anyway, much as they strengthen security measures.
According to lawyers for the airlines, is the inaction of the authorities which led to the disastrous outcome of that day. In support of this argument, defense lawyers expressed their intention to obtain the testimony of FBI agents.
In fact, after the attacks, the FBI conducted an extensive investigation. And information obtained during this investigation seem to show that the government took no regulatory actions that day that would have reduced the proportion of the attacks.
However, following intervention by the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, Judge Alvin Hellerstein barred the testimony of FBI agents, thus preventing airlines develop their defense. The hearing will be resumed on 28 July. 8 years after the attacks, a court has been examining the FBI investigation
, which includes
155 000 167 000 tests and interrogation records . Its content is not known but through processes of other cases linked [1] and statements by agents to the press. The latter say their research disproves the government's version of events [2].
In flagrant contradiction to statements by CIA officials and successive Secretaries of Justice, the FBI
has always refused to attribute the attacks of September 11 to Osama Ben Laden or even is looking for as the author of those facts. ==
[1] For example, during the trial of Zacarias Mousaoui Frenchman accused of conspiring to participate in the Flight 93 hijacking of American Airlines, the FBI rejected the wiretapped conversations that day among airline passengers hostages and their relatives on land. The officials said, under oath, according to the research they conducted,
those calls, so often cited, never took place and are false.
