The FBI over the weekend released the first previously declassified document about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack hijackers, responding to an order handed down by President Joe Biden days earlier.

On Sept. 11, a 16-page heavily redacted document (pdf) that was written in 2016 sheds light on the logistical support that was given to some of the Saudi Sept. 11 hijackers. Families of victims who died during the 2001 attacks have long sought the declassification of the report, as well as other documents related to the incident.
