will the saudi royal family be exposed to having Al Qaeda connections in 2009

A bit more clarity of settlement requirements, perhaps.....

When will this question be UN-SUSPENDED? Thanks.

news is out now. how does this get handled since the question is suspended?

Court won't hear Sept. 11 claims vs. Saudi Arabia

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court has refused to allow victims of the Sept. 11 attacks to pursue lawsuits against Saudi Arabia and four of its princes over charitable donations that were allegedly funneled to al-Qaida

The Obama administration had angered some victims and families by urging the justices to pass up the case.

@dd: since the story to which you linked only alleges a connection, and since the Supreme Court won't hear the case, we've gotta wait.

The market's author finally got back to me this morning, but we still need some more info before unsuspending, as things are too murky right now.

A) What constitutes a 'connection'? That could be anything from, say, a 'charitable donation' to a single email.

B) The way the question is worded with its misplaced modifier, it's uncertain whether the connections have to have been made in 2009, or proof of a connection has to be made this year, no matter in which year the connection happened.

C) The market needs some more backgorund info and news links. Who are the lawyers? Which families?

D) Does proof of any connection have to be made in a court of law, or just alleged in a newspaper?

And so on...

sqlman - thanks for the clarification. i took it as meaning they had to get the info from the law suit. since the law suit is over i thought it would be able to settle. you make valid points that the question could still be settled at a later date..if the details are made more clear. thanks for working with the creator and keeping members updated in the comments.

The following 3 articles show that lawyers have submitted evidence to the courts regarding the saudi royal family funding al qaeda
