An insurance firm has withdrawn its lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, which had claimed the country funded the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

A division of Lloyd's of London had filed documents in a U.S. court

on September 8 demanding the return of $215million compensation it paid victims. But the lawsuit has now been dropped.

Lawsuit: The headquarters of Lloyd's of London

Attorney Stephen Cozen of law firm Cozen O'Connor, which represents Lloyd's, told Insurance Journal that he cannot comment on why Lloyd’s decided to drop the case less than two weeks after filing the complaint. Mr Cozen told the journal: 'We were instructed to voluntarily dismiss without prejudice. That of course means that the suit is free to be refiled and certainly similar suits may be filed by others.'
Lloyd's is voluntarily dismissing its lawsuit 'without prejudice,' meaning the motion seeks to close the case without precluding the possibility of renewal at a later date, the court clerk's office said. The lawsuit - filed in Johnston, Pennsylvania, where United Airlines flight 93 crashed on 9/11, named nine defendants, including a leading member of the oil-rich state's royal family. Saudi Arabia has always denied claims that Osama bin Laden's organisation received official financial and practical support from his homeland.

Disaster: Legal documents were filed in Johnston, near where the United 93 jet crashed after being hijacked by 9/11 terrorists

And the 9/11 Commission's official report on the attacks, found that there was no evidence that the Saudi government or senior Saudi officials individually funded Al Qaeda.


POSTER COMMENT: It seems that the lawsuit came up just in time for the 911 tenth anniversary and went away as soon as it was no longer needed for Propaganda Effect. (2 images)

Indicates some sort of out-of-court negotiation, presumably between the insurance company and the Saudis (if not the official Saudi govt, then the royal Saudis or some other really bigshot Saudis), possibly to avert further investigation and/or publicity about the lawsuit. This negotiation may have involved huge sums of money being paid, not necessarily to the insurance company but to the individuals who were running the lawsuit ... or maybe instead of money some sort of threats of personal violence.

Speculation. The data is that the suit was withdrawn without prejudice. While I am not above speculation or drawing inferences from circumstance I don't see anything in evidence to either prove or disprove your contention. While your suggestion is certainly possible, it is equally possible that there was a decision made not to go forward with a lawsuit for which the plaintiffs could provide no substantive support.
