Sept. 11 lawsuit: Suing the Saudis
The Philadelphia law firm Cozen O'Connor sued Saudi Arabia and several Islamist charities in 2003, seeking to hold them financially liable for the 9/11 terror attacks.
Although the Saudis' lawyers won Round 1 when a judge removed the kingdom and Saudi royals as defendants, Cozen has appealed.
Whichever way the appellate court rules, the story behind the suit is a case study in tort law with foreign-policy implications - and billions of dollars at stake.
This two-part Inquirer series traces events that preceded the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and leads to a federal courtroom.
