Victim’s son: 9/11 family members short-changed by Biden plan for frozen Afghan funds – By Jeff Himler (Triblive) / February 11, 2022
President Biden’s executive order meant to free up $3.5 billion in frozen Afghan funds for the benefit of the Afghan people, while leaving at least that amount to settle claims of 9/11 victims’ families in the United States, has drawn fire from one of those family members.
Brett Eagleson, son of Bruce Eagleson, who died in the 9/11 terror attack on the World Trade Center, has protested that it’s unfair to make victims’ families litigate to seek a share of the frozen funds.
A cousin of a man who was aboard hijacked United Flight 93 when it crashed near Shanksville, Somerset County, on 9/11 indicated he’ll be satisfied as long as affected families get their day in court.
