(Times-UK) Christina Lamb - Charleston, S.C., is home to the master computer of the world's largest free-standing database of intelligence on Islamic terrorism. Investigators have discovered that the July 2001 meetings in Spain of the 9/11 hijackers included individuals who took part in the Madrid bombings. "We also discovered transfers from the Saudi ministry of interior directly to the Madrid cell," said Jack Cordray, a lawyer involved in the lawsuit on behalf of the families of people killed on 9/11. "You are not telling me that money was for building mosques." The class action case is based on the argument that the 9/11 hijackers could not have carried out the attacks without generous - largely Saudi - backing. It rests on the premise that those who finance terrorist organizations are liable for the damage they cause.
