Summary
This document is page 33 of a legal opinion (2012 WL 257568) regarding the September 11 terrorist attacks litigation. It details the funding and recruitment mechanisms of al-Qaeda through charities like the IIRO and MWL, citing media reports from the 1990s and relationships involving Osama Bin Laden. The text focuses on the legal standard for inferring a defendant's 'mental state' (knowledge) regarding the funding of terrorism, likely serving as case law precedent in a House Oversight investigation (indicated by the Bates stamp).
