Judge dismisses claims against Saudi Prince Sultan and Prince Turki for lack of personal jurisdiction in 9/11 terrorism lawsuits

Judge dismisses claims against Saudi Prince Sultan and Prince Turki for lack of personal jurisdiction in 9/11 terrorism lawsuits The passage identifies alleged financial links between Saudi princes and charities accused of supporting al Qaeda, but provides no concrete evidence, transaction details, or dates. It highlights a procedural barrier (jurisdiction) rather than new factual revelations, offering a moderate lead for further investigation into the charities and donation trails. Key insights: Prince Sultan was accused of donating to charities that allegedly funded al Qaeda, but the court found insufficient jurisdictional basis.; Prince Turki is alleged to have made personal donations to Saudi charities linked to terrorism, yet no specific facts were presented.; The court denied plaintiffs’ request for jurisdictional discovery, limiting access to potentially relevant financial records.
