Court Denies Dismissals and Grants Jurisdiction Over Saudi Entities and Individuals in 9/11 Terrorism Lawsuits The passage reveals that a U.S. district court found personal jurisdiction over several Saudi princes, banks, and the SAAR Network in civil suits alleging support for al‑Qaeda and related terrorist financing. It lists specific actors and entities, cites Executive Order 13224, and notes pending discovery on money transfers to terror fronts, providing concrete leads for further investigation into financial flows and possible foreign state involvement. Key insights: Personal jurisdiction was found over Prince Sultan, Prince Turki, Prince Mohamed, and other Saudi royals.; Saudi banks (Al Rajhi, Saudi American Bank, Arab Bank, Al Baraka, NCB) faced claims of financing terrorism.; The SAAR Network’s motion to dismiss was denied, indicating the court believes it may have transferred money to terror fronts.
