They assisted with 9/11 and instead the US kept the info secret and choose to continue to be allies with Saudi Arabia even though they fund wahabbi terror groups that often target the US.

9/11 Families Cry Foul Over Saudi Diplomatic Immunity Claims

(CN) — Investigating a former Saudi consular official in Los Angeles, attorneys for 9/11 families hit a roadblock in their longstanding litigation to hold the kingdom liable for the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history: claims of diplomatic immunity.

If Saudi Arabia’s expansive view of the Vienna Convention prevails, the families’ attorney Sean Carter argued Thursday, “States could simply organize terrorist attacks using their diplomatic and consular facilities.”

Roughly a dozen attorneys wrangled for nearly five hours over what information Saudi Arabia must disclose, while an audience of some 450 victim family members and reporters listened via phone.

With U.S. courts largely closed by the coronavirus pandemic, Thursday’s remarkable conference gave hundreds of people across the country an opportunity to hear the slow but steady progress in one of the oldest and most controversial cases in the Southern District of New York.
