This document is a page from a federal court opinion regarding the 'Burnett' litigation, involving claims against Abdel Abdul Jalil Batterjee, the Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), and the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) for alleged ties to Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. The text details allegations that Batterjee funded BIF, commissioned a biography of Bin Laden, and transferred control of the charity to Enaam Arnaout, who was indicted for roles in the 9/11 attacks. Batterjee disputes these claims, denying financial support to BIF after 1993 and denying knowledge of Bin Laden's activities, while also contesting jurisdiction and service of process.
