Lawsuit
911 LAWSUIT News:
20020818
-
"Saudis
label 9/11 lawsuit extortion attempt." ... "Several
Saudi banks and Islamic charities named in a lawsuit by families of September
11 victims vehemently denied on Sunday any role in funding terrorism and
blasted the case as an attempt to extort Saudi wealth abroad." ... "Saudi
investments in the United States are put at $750 billion."
-Reuters via -CNN
20020816
-
"Sept.
11 Families Join to Sue Saudis: Banks, Charities
and Royals Accused Of Funding al Qaeda Terrorist Network." ... "The lawsuit
does not allege that the Saudi defendants directly participated in the
Sept. 11 attacks, or approved them. That would be a difficult assertion
to support because bin Laden, who was banished from the Saudi kingdom in
1991, has declared war on Saudi leaders as well as the United States."
... "Instead, the plaintiffs contend that some of the leading figures in
Saudi society --top businessmen, charity executives and members of the
royal family -- gave money to foundations and front groups that sustained
al Qaeda and moved its money." -By Susan Schmidt -WashingtonPost
-
- "Sept.
11 victims' families sue Saudis, others." ... According
to the lawsuit, ""the financial resources and support network of these
defendants -- charities, banks and individual financiers -- are what allowed
the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to occur," said the 259-page, 15-count complaint.
Attorneys said they expect that the lawsuit will eventually include more
than 1,000 family members who lost relatives in New York City, Washington
and Pennsylvania." ... "But this legal action is more about exposure, vengeance
and prevention of future attacks than it is about money, the family members
said at a news conference." -By Bob Dart-AJC
-
- "Families
of 9/11 victims file suit: 'Enablers of terrorism'
named." ... "The complaint, based on information from an investigative
team paid for by the plaintiffs, names three prominent members of the Saudi
royal family: Princes Turki al Faisal al Saud, Sultan bin Abdul Aziz al
Saud and Mohammed al Faisal al Saud. It alleges that Prince Sultan, the
Saudi minister of defense and aviation, has donated at least $6 million
since 1994 to four Islamic charities that allegedly supported al Qaeda."
... "The suit also alleges Turki al Faisal al Saud, a powerful former Saudi
intelligence chief, worked against the proposed extradition of bin Laden
and other al Qaeda members from Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia in 1998. In
return, the suit alleges, bin Laden agreed not to undermine the Saudi government."

"Attack
victims sue over alleged Sept. 11 financing." ...
"Individuals named in the suit included Saudi-born extremist Osama bin
Laden and several of his relatives, as well as three members of the Saudi
royal family: Turki al Faisal al Saud, Sultan bin Abdul Aziz al Saud and
Mohammed al Faisal al Saud." ... "The banks named in the suit were: Al
Baraka Investment and Development Corp., National Commercial Bank, Faisal
Islamic Bank, Al Rajhi Banking and Investment, Al Barakaat Exchange LLC,
Dar Al Maal Al Islami and Al Shamal Islamic Bank." ... "Charitable groups
named included: the International Islamic Relief Organization, Sanabel
Al Kheer Inc., Muslim World League, Saar Foundation, Rabita Trust, Al-Haramain
Islamic Foundation, Benevolence International Foundation and the World
Assembly of Muslim Youth." -By Deborah Charles
-Reuters via -AlertNet.org/Newsdesk

"$116
trillion lawsuit filed by 9/11 families." ... "Acknowledging
the odds are against them, relatives of the September 11 attacks filed
a 15-count, $116 trillion lawsuit Thursday against the company run by Osama
bin Laden's family, Saudi Arabian princes and Sudan." ... "Co-lead counsel
for the lawsuit is attorney Allen Gerson, one of the attorneys who negotiated
a $2.7 billion settlement between the Libyan government and families of
270 people killed when Pam Am Flight 103 was blown up over Scotland in
1988." -CNN
-
- "Saudi
officials sued over Sept. 11 attacks; $1 trillion sought by families."
... "The suit, modeled after action filed against Libya in the Pan Am flight
103 disaster, seeks to cripple banks, charities and some members of the
Saudi royal family - as well as vengeance for the families of those who
perished, the plaintiffs said." -By Laurie Kellman
