Plaintiffs Cite ATCA, RICO, and Conspiracy Theories to Link Material Support Claims to 9/11

Plaintiffs Cite ATCA, RICO, and Conspiracy Theories to Link Material Support Claims to 9/11 The passage outlines legal theories (ATCA, RICO, TVPA) that plaintiffs intend to use to hold parties liable for allegedly providing material support to al‑Qaeda, which could lead to investigative avenues about funding channels and corporate involvement. However, it lacks specific names, dates, or transaction details, limiting immediate actionable value. Key insights: Claims rely on concerted‑action liability (conspiracy, aiding and abetting) under New York law.; References to ATCA suggest alien plaintiffs may sue for torts tied to international law violations such as aircraft hijacking.; Civil RICO elements are enumerated, indicating plaintiffs may allege a pattern of racketeering linked to material support.
