Saudi Arabia added to 9/11 lawsuit
By Dan Christensen

With an unusual acknowledgment of a mistake in a high-profile case, a federal appeals court in New York City has restored Saudi Arabia as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by thousands of 9/11 victims, their families and others.
For a decade, the 9/11 plaintiffs have asserted that the desert kingdom bankrolled al Qaeda before the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Now, they can once again pursue their claim in court.
The ruling also restores as a defendant the Saudi High Commission for Relief of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a government agency the plaintiffs contend funneled tens of millions of dollars to terrorist fighters across the globe.
Former Florida Sen. Bob Graham, who co-chaired Congress joint inquiry into the attacks, hailed Thursdays ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan.

It has been proven that the Saudis in question were being watched by various members of US government counter terrorism groups. But somehow, when the Saudis are said to have finalized their plans, the intelligence was called off, allowing the Saudis to board the planes.
They were aliens being watched but the watchers were called off the watch. Now who would have made that happen?

(9,463 posts)5. 9/11 was ALWAYS an inside job. It was set in motion with PNAC in 1997/98 and followed
up with the theft of the 2000 election. Once the PNAC'cers were in office, their plan to bring down the Twin Towers was executed.
An I don't give one nasty fuck what OCT people think or what they have to say about it. Every last one of them is either stupid, naive, or in on the cover-up.
