WorldNew York court hears arguments in 9/11 families’ lawsuit against Saudi Arabia

A New York appeals court heard arguments over whether a long-running lawsuit by 9/11 victims’ families against Saudi Arabia can proceed to trial. The families allege Saudi government employee Omar al-Bayoumi supported two hijackers; he and Saudi Arabia deny the accusations. Saudi Arabia is seeking to overturn a lower court ruling, and the judges will decide later.
