Saudi Arabia faces USD6bn U.S. lawsuit by Sept. 11 insurers
Saudi Arabia is facing a renewed USD6bn lawsuit by dozens of insurers seeking to hold it responsible for business and property damage caused by the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The lawsuit filed late Thursday in the District Court in Manhattan is the latest effort to hold Saudi Arabia liable for the attacks. Insurers accused Saudi Arabia and a state-affiliated charity of providing funding and other material support that enabled Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda to conduct the attacks. The Saudi government has long denied involvement. At least seven lawsuits were also filed in the Manhattan court on behalf of individuals.
