Probably Better To Have Nuked Mecca

Oh, this is fun. The U.S. Gov't. didn't have the nerve to point fingers & play the blame game, but Lloyd's of London does.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa.—A Lloyd’s of London syndicate is seeking more than $215 million from the government, banks and charities in Saudi Arabia, an amount the insurer says it paid on behalf of aviation and other policyholders to families of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, U.S. terror attacks.

[...]

According to an excerpt of the complaint published by Courthouse News Service, the plaintiffs seek amounts paid to settle 9/11 cases on behalf of policyholders and defense costs from “parties who knowingly provided material support and resources to al-Qaida in the years leading up to the” Sept. 11, 2001, attacks “and who by virtue of their intentional conduct bear primary responsibility for the injuries resulting” from the attacks.

Among the allegations, the suit says al-Qaida's development into a sophisticated global terrorist network was due to the support it received from purported charities acting as agents of the Saudi government.

The suit alleges that, under direction of the Saudi government, the charities pressed the view that Western society, led by the U.S., was coordinating an attack designed to weaken Muslim society as a prelude to a conquest of Muslim territories.

If the Saudi gov't./charity view expressed in the last paragraph wasn't completely true, they certainly got their wish post-11 September 2001, didn't they?

Perhaps they could get the money from Aramco. Or any of the American corporate entities that founded Aramco, whose "am" is short for, you guessed it, AMERICA!
