Saudi Arabiaâs 9/11 Lawsuit: Oops, Coincidences Don't Count!
In a courtroom drama worthy of a binge-watch, Judge George Daniels declared on a Thursday sometime recently in New York that Saudi Arabia might have a little more explaining to do about their friendship with 9/11 hijackers Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy. The kingdomâs defense of 'just innocent coincidences' and airplane doodles unrelated to 9/11 got roasted harder than a falafel wrap at a roadside stand. Meanwhile, lawyers tried to remind everyone that Saudi Arabia, under Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, was totally on team 'fight terrorism' in the â90s, having even revoked Osama bin Ladenâs citizenshipâtalk about a plot twist! The kingdomâs silence since was quieter than a desert sandstorm, leaving families and 9/11 Justice activists waiting like it's 2001 plus 20 years and counting.

When your 'innocent coincidences' defense involves airplane doodles and mysterious Saudi guys who apparently moonlight as hijacker helpers, you might want to rethink your legal teamâs strategy. Court's roasting season is officially open.
Saudi Arabia's legal defense sounds like that shady friend who says 'I didnât mean to, it was just a coincidence' right after accidentally crashing the party... with hijackers.
If only Saudi Arabiaâs 'plane drawings unrelated to 9/11' were as good as their claim of not knowing any hijackersâmaybe then theyâd win this lawsuit instead of just looking super suspicious.
