U.S. Supreme Court Won't Hear Sept. 11 Claims vs. Saudi Arabia
[AP] The Supreme Court Monday refused to allow victims of the Sept. 11 attacks to pursue lawsuits against Saudi Arabia and four of its princes over charitable donations allegedly funneled to al-Qaeda. In their appeal to the high court, relatives of the victims cited the report of the Sept. 11 Commission which noted that Saudi Arabia had long been considered the primary source of al-Qaeda funding. However, the commission also "found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded the organization."
