9/11 Lawsuit Claims Saudi Arabia Played Part in Attacks

A lawsuit filed Monday by hundreds of people who were injured or had family members killed on 9/11 claims Saudi Arabia financially assisted the group responsible for the attack, BuzzFeed reported.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, represents the families and estates of about 800 of the 2,996 killed in the attacks. It alleges Saudi Arabia funded al-Qaida and helped the hijackers who crashed into the World Trade Center find homes in the United States and learn English.

"Saudi Arabia was duplicitous," the suit claimed.

"It presented a public face to the United States and other Western countries of a nation fighting al-Qaida and terrorism while at the same time, as detailed herein, Saudi government actors gave al-Qaida substantial material support and resources.

9:03 they are against it because it opens the door for citizens of other countries to sue the US. Kind of like when civilians are killed during a raid..

you are a blind "patriot" if you don't think the US has engaged in terrorist activities, both recently and further in history.

and stop throwing that "traitor:" word around needlessly and unwarranted. it only reduces its meaning. like "hero".

Why aren't they on the terror list? Why are we still doing business with this country? Oh that's right, they are bribing and giving kickbacks to our government! Royal family are friends with the Bush family as well. It's no secret that most of the attackers on 911 were from Saudi Arabia. They are not our friends, nor have they every been. I know the Oil Companies like Exxon have there refineries and business interests there.
