9/11 families push to ban Mamdani from 25th anniversary remembrance over 'hostile' record

Families of 9/11 victims are urging organizers to exclude New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from the 25th anniversary remembrance ceremony over concerns about his public positions, associations, and reluctance to condemn phrases like 'globalize the intifada.' They also criticize his father, Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani, for a post-9/11 book that downplayed suicide bombers and equated U.S. actions with Al Qaeda.
