Document Information
This document is a page from a 2012 legal opinion (In re: Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001) retrieved from Westlaw, bearing a House Oversight stamp. It details the financial infrastructure supporting al-Qaeda, specifically implicating financial institutions such as Al Shamal, FIBS, Al Rajhi Bank, and National Commercial Bank (NCB) in knowingly providing services and funneling money to the terrorist organization. The text cites testimony confirming that high-ranking banking officials had direct ties to Osama bin Laden and that the banks used charity fronts to channel funds for 'financial jihad.' Note: While labeled as an Epstein-related document request, this specific page contains no mention of Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell; it focuses entirely on 9/11 terrorist financing litigation.
