Passage of the bipartisan legislation will likely prove a pyrrhic victory as the White House has already indicated President Obama will veto the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA).

But the House vote voice, coming four months after the Senate’s approval, was at the least a symbolic triumph for relatives of the nearly 3,000 people killed on Sept. 11, 2001.

“It's gratifying to see that when something is overwhelmingly in the interests of the American people, bipartisan action can happen,” said Jerry S. Goldman, attorney for several 9/11 families.

“The unity Americans felt in the days after 9/11 lives on in a determination to hold whoever was complicit in attacks on U.S. soil accountable, as existing law provides and as JASTA clarifies.”

Fifteen of the 19 terrorists involved in the 9/11 terror attacks were Saudi nationals.
