I had heard that countries like Saudi Arabia have indoor ski slopes
climate controlled and everything http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/20...t-hearing.html July 14, 2010 Lawsuits on Terrorism Get Mixed Reaction at Hearing Witnesses sparred at a congressional hearing today over the possible consequences of a bill designed to open up litigation against foreign officials accused of financing terrorism. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.), would amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1974 to allow lawsuits in limited circumstances. It is in part a response to a 2008 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, affirming that Sept. 11 victims could not sue the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and four of its princes over charitable contributions that the plaintiffs said went to Al-Qaeda. "The evidence is very, very forceful about the involvement of Saudi money in promoting terrorism," Specter said today in chairing a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the issue. He said the threat of a lawsuit could deter those considering financing terrorism. |
