		</div><p>Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is backing legislation that would let Americans sue Saudi Arabia over the 9/11 terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>The bill is opposed by the Obama administration but is important to families of 9/11 victims, some of whom believe Saudi officials played some part in the attacks.</p>
<p>Mr Sanders spoke in favour of the legislation on NBC&#8217;s Today Show on the eve of the New York presidential primary.</p>
<p>He said it is important to have a full understanding of &#8220;the possible role of the Saudi government in 9/11&#8221;.</p>
<p>US inquiries have not reported a link between the Saudi government or its senior officials and the attacks, but Mr Sanders noted that some conclusions remain classified.</p>
<p>Mr Sanders said Saudi Arabia promotes an extreme and &#8220;very destructive&#8221; version of Islam.</p>
<p>Fifteen of the 19 hijackers in the September 2001 attacks, which destroyed the World Trade Centre and killed thousands, were citizens of Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p>Mr Sanders is currently trailing former secretary of state Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination with only a slim chance of overcoming her lead in delegates.</p>
<p>On the Republican side, billionaire Donald Trump is leading but may not have enough delegates to win the nomination before the party&#8217;s convention this summer, leaving open the possibility of a floor fight to determine the eventual candidate.</p>
