On September 30th, a widow of a 9/11 victim filed a lawsuit against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over claims of its alleged involvement in the 9/11 attacks reports Zero Hedge.
Stephanie Ross DeSimone also filed the lawsuit on behalf of her daughter with whom she was two months pregnant when her husband, Navy Patrick Dunn was killed.
The suit alleged that the kingdom provided material support to terrorist group Al Qaeda and its leader Osama Bin Laden.
