Americans to sue Saudi over 9/11 - VirtualFrost - 05-20-2016
I just read this and found it hilarious, doesn't Saudi hold most of Americas debt or something? Why go ahead and allow it's citizens to sue them?
Also saw that Obama may be trying to veto this so this will be interesting to follow.
Quote:Families of victims killed in the 2001 September 11 terror attacks may soon be able to sue Saudi Arabia's government for damages after the US Senate passed legislation on Tuesday.
The Saudis, who deny responsibility for the 2001 attacks, strongly object to the bill.
They had said they might sell up to $750 billion in U.S. securities and other American assets in retaliation if it became law.
The "Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act," or JASTA, passed the Senate by unanimous voice vote.
It must next be taken up by the U.S. House of Representatives, where the Judiciary Committee intends to hold a hearing on the measure in the near future, a committee aide said.
