Statutes and Lawsuits

A statute of limitations on 9/11-related lawsuits expires in several hours, this being the third anniversary of the horrific event. And it's about time that both the New York Port Authority and investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald have filed suit against the government of Saudi Arabia for its clear but apparently hushed involvement in the attacks. When news like this is being covered by an outfit like the BBC, it really makes ya think:

The agency that owns the site of the World Trade Center in New York says it is suing Saudi Arabia for damages suffered on 11 September, 2001.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey lost 84 employees in the attacks against the Twin Towers.

The agency did not explain why it held the Saudis responsible, but said it wanted to "preserve its legal options".
