A New York federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit claiming Saudi Arabia aided 9/11 hijackers. The judge ruled the claims, alleging Saudi government employees supported al-Qaeda, were sufficient to proceed to trial. While acknowledging Saudi Arabia's past anti-terrorism efforts, the judge focused on the alleged connection between Saudi employees and the hijackers' activities. Relatives of 9/11 victims and others are pursuing the case, seeking justice and accountability for the alleged Saudi involvement.
