A group of United States insurers has hit 10 defendants, including Saudi banks and companies connected with the family of Osama bin Laden, with a $4.2 billion lawsuit over the 9/11 terror attacks. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday night in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by more than two dozen U.S. insurers affiliated with the insurance holding company Travelers Cos, reported Reuters.

The move follows a decision by Congress last September to override a veto by then-President Barack Obama and allow U.S. citizens to sue foreign governments.

Included among the defendants is National Commercial Bank, in which the Saudi government, through its Public Investment Fund, holds a majority stake. The bank is listed alongside Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi aviation firm Dallah Avco, Mohamed Binladin Co. and multiple charities.



Note:
This motion comes in with in days of strikes on Syria and Afghanistan where US was involved in property damage

People have argued that if Saudis are liable for damages then countries like Afghanistan , Iraq, Syria, Libya , Somalia or other countries like Viet Nam or others can also lodge international court cases against US for War Damages to property and Human lives

Well no one becomes guilty by association , just because someone's last name was bin Laden does not mean the whole family was involved. And simmilarly can't blame any country's soreign banks.

The person was disowned by his family

Just looks like some greedy ... scheme to make quick Cash for Insurance brokers with big Vacation boats

If one person commits a crime in US , normally it is only that person that goes to prison , the judge does not orders whole neighbourhood to be sentenced to prison. And same analogy applies to the Terrorist attack claim

This won't go anywhere. The law is on KSA's side.

The US has recovered proof that Al-Qaeda received funding from non Bin-
Laden entities in Saudi-Arabia and Gulf states.
If it can be shown that banks knowingly helped moving money around,
they may have a case.

Never seen any insurance company pass any benefits to anyone , anyways , they likely are just now trying to milk the camel (Saudia) in this case. In US there is also a certain period till you can "sue" someone legally which is like 2-3 years after the accident or Terrorism. So to demand cash after 17 years sorta rediculous

Pre 9/11 I don't recall there were any strict guidelines such guidelines came around 2005-2007

Also last names are comon and a Bank really has no massive intelligence tool to help them they normally just take info and send money any where

US may lose some key allies real quick considering their Airline passengers are already facing some harsh checks and baggage requirements (no laptop or phones)

I just came off a major news paper site , the country being accused and that news is spreading like hot cake and being shared by it's citizien the sentiments will shift quite rapidly

It was a fake bill. Nobody mentions it but the attorney general actually has the right to block any lawsuit from happening. That's why everyone in Congress voted for it. They wanted to look like they were in favour while not actually following it through.
