Saudi Arabia to Face Appeals Court in 9/11 Families' Lawsuit
Families are seeking more records on alleged Saudi links to the attacks as a federal appeals court weighs whether to broaden the evidence.
- On Thursday, families of 9/11 victims will appear before a federal Appeals Court in Manhattan, seeking release of records they say tie the Saudi Arabian government to the attacks.
- The dispute centers on Omar Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national whom Attorneys allege provided logistical support to hijackers before fleeing the United States.
- Attorneys are seeking additional Evidence, including phone records, and cite video showing Bayoumi at the Capitol, which Attorneys contend suggests he was "casing" the building, an allegation that remains disputed.
- Saudi Arabia has consistently denied any role in planning or supporting the attacks, calling itself a sworn enemy of Qaeda; the White House claims it is working to identify responsive records.
- During this year's 9/11 commemorations, Families openly faulted the Administration for keeping materials secret, noting that Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals.
