Event Details

This document is a preliminary statement from a legal appeal (cited 2012) concerning the 'In re: Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001' litigation. The Plaintiffs-Appellants (victims' families) are appealing a district court's dismissal of claims against five defendants, including Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi American Bank, and Saleh Abdullah Kamel, whom they allege knowingly provided material support to al-Qaeda. The text argues that the lower court applied improper pleading standards and misinterpreted statutes such as the Alien Tort Statute and the Anti-Terrorism Act. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a document production to the U.S. House Oversight Committee.
