Summary
This document is a page from a legal opinion (2012 WL 257568) related to the 'In re: TERRORIST ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001' litigation. It discusses the liability of financial institutions, specifically Al Rajhi Bank and Dubai Islamic Bank, for allegedly knowingly providing financial services to Al-Qaeda. The text details how various charities (al Haramain, WAMY, MWL, IIRO, SJRC, BIFs) served as fundraising fronts for Al-Qaeda and links them to specific historical terrorist attacks prior to 9/11. While stamped 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT', the document text itself focuses exclusively on terrorist financing and contains no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein.
