9/11受害者家属起诉沙特阿拉伯援助9/11劫机者; 9/11 victims' families sue Saudi Arabia for aiding 9/11 hijackers; Saudi lawyers argue against liability.
沙特阿拉伯的律师认为,1990年代,国家与恐怖主义以及像美国这样的“基地”组织作斗争,因此,在为9/11受害者家属寻求超过1 000亿美元的诉讼案中,不应成为被告。 Saudi Arabia's lawyers argue the nation fought against terrorism and al-Qaeda like the US in the 1990s, thus should not be a defendant in lawsuits seeking over $100 billion for 9/11 victims' families. 原告声称,沙特官员帮助了参与袭击的15名沙特劫机者。 The plaintiffs claim that Saudi officials aided the 15 Saudi hijackers involved in the attacks. 由于美国地区法官乔治·丹尼尔斯决定是否驳回对沙特阿拉伯的索赔,该案正在审理之中。 The case is ongoing as U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels decides whether to dismiss the claims against Saudi Arabia.
