“Lawsuits claiming Saudi Arabia aided al-Qaeda and should be held liable for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack was revived by a U.S. appeals court in a decision that allows victims and their families another chance to seek compensation from the kingdom. The U.S. Court of Appeals in New York yesterday said a lower-court judge ‘rested on an error of law’ in rejecting a request to reopen the cases against the country’s government and an affiliated charity. Michael Kellogg, a lawyer for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, didn’t immediately return a call yesterday seeking comment on the ruling.”
