US President Joe Biden has directed the declassification of certain documents related to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a supportive gesture to victims' families who have long sought the records in hopes of implicating the Saudi government.The order, coming little more than a week before the 20th anniversary of the attacks, is a significant moment in a years long tussle between the government and the families over what classified information about the run-up to the attacks could be made public.That conflict was on display last month when many relatives, survivors and first responders came out against Mr Biden's participation in 9/11 memorial events if the documents remained classified.
