Senator Says He May Back Bill Exposing Saudis to 9/11 Lawsuits

"Those cases, some of which have tried to hold members of the Saudi royal family and Saudi charities liable for what the plaintiffs allege was financial support for terrorism, have been largely stymied because of a 1976 law that gives foreign nations broad immunity from American lawsuits. The current legislation would amend the law, allowing for nations to be sued in American courts if they are found to have played any role in terrorist attacks that killed Americans on home soil."
