Justice: A new 9/11 lawsuit portrays the Saudi government as having more control over al-Qaida charities before the attacks than it (or the U.S.) has admitted. Let’s hear the truth.

Lloyds of London seeks $215 million in damages from the kingdom to recover claims it paid 9/11 victims and their families. The suit charges that the Saudi government funded al-Qaida through its banks and charities.

The complaint, filed in U.S. court, states that without official Saudi sponsorship, “al-Qaida would not have possessed the capacity to conceive, plan and execute the Sept. 11 attacks.” In other words, absent Saudi support, the Twin Towers would still be standing — along with nearly 3,000 Americans.

We’re impressed by the documentation cited in the 156-page complaint by Cozen O’Conner, a major Washington law firm. It’s much more detailed than the lawsuit brought on behalf of 9/11 families, which a federal judge dismissed for lack of evidence. This one might have a shot. It points to new intelligence, including recently leaked diplomatic cables.
