Summary
This document is a page from a 2012 Westlaw legal opinion regarding litigation surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (In re: Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001). It details legal arguments concerning the liability of entities including DMI Trust, Dallah al Baraka, and individual Saleh Abdullah Kamel for providing material support to al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden in the 1990s. The text discusses pleading standards under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and criticizes a lower court for applying an incorrect standard regarding the causal connection between 1990s support and the 2001 attacks. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp.

Quote #3
"The district court also found that the plaintiffs had not pled 'the requisite causal connection' for their ATA claims... because 'the alleged provision of material support' to 'Osama bin Laden ... during the early 1990s ... is too remote from the 9/11 terrorist attacks ....'"Source
