WASHINGTON — Documents gathered by lawyers for the families of Sept. 11 victims provide new evidence of extensive financial support for Al Qaeda and other extremist groups by members of the Saudi royal family, but the material may never find its way into court because of legal and diplomatic obstacles.
The case has put the Obama administration in the middle of a political and legal dispute, with the Justice Department siding with the Saudis in court last month in seeking to kill further legal action.

My Comment: The Saudis do not give money away unless they know exactly where it is going. The Saudi Government knows this. The U.S. Government knows this. And the families of 9/11 know this.
Liabilities will run into the billions .... which is one reason why the Saudi Government is trying to stop this legal process.
