Cantor Fitzgerald SUES Saudi Arabia for 9/11
Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 06:29 PM by plastic_turkeys
1. Wait! Saddam did 9/11, right?

2. Bush will protect his Saudi buddies at all cost, this suit will go nowhere.

NEW YORK - Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, a bond trading firm that lost two-thirds of its workers in the World Trade Center attack, has sued Saudi Arabia for allegedly supporting al-Qaida prior to the Sept. 11 attack through financing, safe houses, weapons and money laundering.

The company, in a $7 billion lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan and made public Friday, also named dozens of other defendants, including numerous banks and Islamic charities, in a bid to hold them accountable for its losses in the terrorism attack.

A message for comment left with the Saudi Arabia embassy in Washington was not immediately returned.

The lawsuit noted that it carried many of the same defendants, transactions, events and questions of law as an earlier $300 billion lawsuit brought by insurance companies against terrorist groups, companies and countries supporting terrorism. That lawsuit, which also names Saudi Arabia, is still pending.

3. This could get real interesting
On one side the full weight of the BFEE, with crisco johnny et al, on the other side, a well known company with tragic losses and immense sympathy on their side. On the other hand, look how the BFEE tried to brush off the Jersey Girls (and largely succeeded in the end).

4. Saudi Arabia will have to hire Bush's lawyer again like they did when the
9-11 victims families sued. The crime family "fixer", James Baker III

6. Can someone explain how the WH protects Saudi Arabia and Israel
equally?

Grover Norquist, spokesperson for Islamic Institutes and Muslims, including very right leaning Muslims is best friend with Karl Rove who directs * on orders of Jews in DOD and assoc organizations and think tanks including all the civiliam employees and contractors - contractors and law firms affiliated with Cheney who also directs *.

Is Israeli military government fighting Saudi Arabia royal family including Hamas type terrorist organizations for the booty - the U.S? Or, do are they all virtual partners for the booty?

The only light on the horizon is that some in the FBI and CIA seem to be doing something - how does that set with Ashcroft and the WH?

I'm so confused.

The only thing that is clear is the old principle - money is at the core of it all.

8. CNN scrolled this at the bottom of the screen, BUT they said
Canton Fitzgerald sues Al Queda.

They didn't say Saudi Arabia.

CNN protecting Saudi Arabia for the chimp?
