FBI Chief Patel: CBC's refusal to call 9/11 a terrorist attack is an insult to victims

FBI Director Patel stated that CBC's reluctance to refer to the September 11, 2001 events as a terrorist attack is equivalent to insulting the victims and distorting historical facts. "Any organization in Canada that publicly fails to reject the distortion of history and the insult to the memory of those who lost their lives in the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history will no longer be a partner for the FBI," he wrote on X. Earlier, it became known that CBC advised its staff not to call the September 11 events a terrorist attack. The press service clarified that this was a reminder of editorial standards, not a reinterpretation of the events.
