Saudi charities alleged as instrumentalities of the Kingdom in 9/11 litigation

Saudi charities alleged as instrumentalities of the Kingdom in 9/11 litigation The passage outlines plaintiffs' claims that several Saudi charities function as arms of the Saudi government and funded 9/11, but the court dismisses the claims on sovereign immunity grounds. While the allegations are not new and have been widely reported, the document lists specific charities and legal arguments that could guide further discovery or FOIA requests into charitable funding flows and government links. Key insights: Plaintiffs name specific charities (MWL, IIRO, WAMY, Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, Rabita Trust, etc.) as alleged Saudi government instrumentalities.; References to Senate sub‑committee testimony and independent task‑force reports on Saudi terrorist financing.; Court cites the discretionary function exception and FSIA sovereign immunity defenses.
