9/11 victims' families sue Saudi Arabia for aiding 9/11 hijackers; Saudi lawyers argue against liability.

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. The plaintiffs claim that Saudi officials aided the 15 Saudi hijackers involved in the attacks. The case is ongoing as U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels decides whether to dismiss the claims against Saudi Arabia.
