Summary

This document is page 772 from Volume 349 of the Federal Supplement, 2d Series. It contains legal headnotes (numbered 44-52) summarizing points of law regarding Constitutional Law, Federal Courts, and Personal Jurisdiction. Specifically, Headnote 45 references litigation involving 'Saudi Arabian Princes' and their alleged involvement with 'al Qaeda' concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks, discussing whether the court has personal jurisdiction over them under the Antiterrorism Act.
