    1,600 people released a letter calling on Biden to stay away from the World Trade Center unless documents are disclosed. 

US President Joe Biden signed an executive order directing the declassification of documents related to the 9/11 attacks that led to the death of over 3,000 as the 20th-anniversary of the tragic event approaches.

As per the executive order, the Department of Justice, as well as other federal agencies, are obligated to conduct a declassification review of several documents related to the FBI's probe into 9/11.

This was one of Biden's electoral promises. He said he is honoring his commitment as we approach the 20th 9/11 anniversary. "When I ran for president, I made a commitment to ensuring transparency regarding the declassification of documents on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America [...] As we approach the 20th anniversary of that tragic day, I am honoring that commitment."

The Biden-signed executive order explained that the American people deserve to have a fuller picture of what their government knows about the attacks.

"Information collected and generated in the United States Government’s investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks should now be disclosed, except when the strongest possible reasons counsel otherwise," the executive order said.

Biden's signing of said order comes about a month after nearly 1,600 people released a letter calling on the president to stay away from Ground Zero - the name of the World Trade Center site - on the anniversary if more information regarding 9/11 is not disclosed.

The United States is preparing for a commemoration of the 9/11 attacks next week. It will be held in New York and attended by President Biden.
