The Saudi Arabia Embassy in Washington DC may have financed two students during the 11 September attacks, according to evidence presented in a lawsuit against the Saudi government.
As reported by the New York Post, the embassy may have used two of its employees before a dozen hijackers flew two planes against the Twin Towers, killing about 3,000 people in 2001.
The indictment, filed on behalf of the 1,400 members of the victims' family, states that the Saudi Government paid two citizens -- submitted as students to the US -- to take a flight from Phoenix to Washington and test the safety on planes before 9/11, reports the World.al.
Sean Carter, the chief lawyer for the plaintiffs, said: “We have long stated that there have been long and close relations between al-Qaeda and the religious components of Saudi government”.
The Saudi government has denied connections with terrorists and lawyers representing the government have filed motions to refute claims. The plaintiffs must respond to the request by November.
