9 11 Attack Sponsors

A US lawmaker has sought a "radical reset" of ties with Islamabad and introduced a bill in the Congress that pushes the American government to declare Pakistan a "state sponsor of terrorism", or give a detailed justification for not doing so in a limited time.

A United States law allowing victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia could have "serious implications" for shared US-Gulf interests, a top Obama administration official said Thursday.

Pakistan, a close ally of Saudi Arabia, today "noted with concern" a new US law that allows Americans to sue foreign countries that "aids and abets" acts of terrorism on US soil.

The White House confirmed on Monday that President Barack Obama will veto a bill that would allow relatives of victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for compensation.

Saudi Arabia is confident nothing in a secret 28-page section of a US congressional report on the September 11 attacks implicates its leaders.
