Summary
This document is a page from a 2005 Federal Court opinion (In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001) bearing a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp. It details the dismissal of civil RICO and ATA complaints against several SAAR Network executives (Al-Awani, Ashrafs, Mirza, Unus) due to lack of specific allegations connecting them to al Qaeda support. However, the court denied the motion to dismiss for Jamal Barzinji regarding material support claims, citing his control over bank accounts and alleged financial transfers to al Qaeda, while dismissing the RICO claim against him. It also briefly mentions a motion for reconsideration by NCB (National Commercial Bank).
