Documents back Saudi link to extremists

By Erich Lichtblau

Jun. 24- 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 the Justice Department is siding with the Saudis in seeking to kill further legal action. Classified documents related to Saudi finances that were leaked to lawyers for the families were destroyed by the Justice Department and they now seek to prevent a judge from even looking at the material.

The Saudis and their defenders in Washington have long denied links to terrorists, and they have mounted an aggressive and, so far, successful campaign to beat back the allegations in federal court based on a claim of sovereign immunity.

Allegations of Saudi links to terrorism have been the subject of years of government investigations and furious debate. Critics have said that some members of the Saudi ruling class pay off terrorist groups in part to keep them from being more active in their own country.

But the thousands of pages of previously undisclosed documents compiled by lawyers for the Sept. 11 families and their insurers represented an unusually detailed look at some of the evidence.

Internal Treasury Department documents obtained by the lawyers under the Freedom of Information Act, for instance, said that a prominent Saudi charity, the International Islamic Relief Organization, heavily supported by members of the Saudi royal family, showed "support for terrorist organizations" at least through 2006

It is not about nation against nation, it is about the few that want control and power against those that want freedom with justice and compassion.

Those of mostly 'bad' side together across borders in secret, as do those of mostly good.

And the bad want one nation to hate another, so the people won't stop and think and see whats going on. So the people never pay attention to the real thugs that try and rule in secrecy with deception and lack of justice.

Edit: Well let me say that a little better. It is not about anybody against anybody, it is against those that want to make it about this group against that group, versus those that want to work together for all people.

My original comment falls into same thinking as anyone it goes against.

There are people in important groups, like rich or government people that also care about people as much as any commoner, and their are also commoners who do not care for their neighbor.

it`s been well documented that they were involved in financing terrorism.
