WASHINGTON, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – President Barack Obama
on Friday vetoed a bill allowing 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia, risking public backlash and rare congressional rebuke.
Expressing “deep sympathy” for the families of the victims, Obama said the law would nonetheless be “detrimental to US national interests” and undermine the principle of sovereign immunity.
