Irishman who lost family in 9/11 fears terrorists will be freed

An Irishman, whose sister and niece were killed in the 9/11 attacks, has told of his fear that the terrorists responsible for the atrocity could one day walk free.

Mark Clifford said he’s endured “yet another massively frustrating year” in which no progress has been made in bringing to trial the five Guantanamo Bay-held suspects who were captured more than a decade ago.

And speaking ahead of the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks, Mr Clifford said the ongoing failure of the US government to bring those responsible to justice has left his family and the loved-ones of the 3,000 victims of the atrocity in an “unbearable limbo”.
