Bill would let Saudi Arabia be sued for funding 9/11

Money Jihad - Saudi Arabia financed the 9/11 terrorist attacks through a combination of government-funded “philanthropy,” private zakat donations by Saudi royals and elites, and front charities—some of which was funneled through Saudi banks.  But Saudi Arabia (and Jordan) has steadfastly resisted lawsuits in the U.S. to force their bankers to disclose documents which will prove their culpability (see here, here, here, and here).

A bipartisan bill aiming to allow such lawsuits to proceed will be reintroduced in Congress shortly by members of New York’s delegation.  Litigation should be part of a broad strategy to bankrupt terrorism and its state sponsors.
