Noor bin Ladin, the 33-year-old niece of the late al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, released a statement on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks saying that she will "never forget" about those who were impacted by the day.

"For the past nineteen years, not a day has gone by since this horrific, tragic day that I haven't thought of you, America, and grieved privately with you for all the innocent lives lost," Noor bin Ladin said in her statement, which she shared on Twitter. "This is in part due to this inexplicable turn of fate that links me to these atrocious attacks, but more importantly because of my love for your country."

In her statement, Noor bin Ladin acknowledged those who were impacted by the attack, including first responders, survivors, and those who lost their loved ones 19 years ago.

In a recent interview with The New York Post, Bin Ladin revealed her support for President Donald Trump and said that he could prevent a second 9/11 if re-elected. According to the interview, her branch of the family spells her name differently from her infamous uncle, who was killed by US Navy SEALS in 2011.

Bin Ladin resides in Switzerland and said she is "an American at heart," the outlet reported.
