On 1/8/2008, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that “a huge lawsuit against the government of Saudi Arabia and key members of its royal family was put to a crucial test today as lawyers for victims of the 9/11 attacks urged a federal appeals court to reinstate the government of Saudi Arabia as a defendant.” The Cozen O’Connor law firm in Philadelphia “was the first to file suit against the government of Saudi Arabia in 2003, charging that the desert kingdom bears responsibility for the attacks because it permitted Islamic charities under its control to bankroll Osama bin Laden and his global terror movement.” The lawsuit “suffered a setback in 2005 when New York federal district court judge Richard Conway Casey ruled that the federal foreign sovereign immunity act barred lawsuits against Saudi Arabia and members of the royal family.”

On 11/13/2008, it was reported that “thousands of victims of the 9/11 attacks appealed to the Supreme Court yesterday, asking it to overturn a lower court decision barring lawsuits against Saudi Arabia for supporting acts of terrorism.”

A New Jersey hospital that treats sick 9/11 first responders got a last-minute
reprieve Tuesday when the feds vowed to send cash to keep it open through September.
The Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences Institute at the Robert
Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick had told its 1,800 patients it
wasn’t sure it could stay open past next month.
Federal funding had been held up over an accounting dispute, but late Tuesday
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health said it was sending
$575,000 to cover summer expenses.
John Feal, founder of the Fealgood Foundation, which pushes for health care
for 9/11 workers, said the money isn’t enough.
Feal said, “$575,000 is like putting a Band-Aid on a machine-gun wound.
“Funding for three months is a joke when 9/11 first responders will need
treatment for the rest of their lives.”

The US military conducted a training exercise in the five days before the September
11 attacks that included simulated aircraft hijackings by terrorists, according
to a 9/11 Commission document
recently found in the US National Archives. In one of the scenarios, implemented
on September 9, terrorists hijacked a London to New York flight, planning to
blow it up with explosives over New York.
The undated document, entitled “NORAD EXERCISES Hijack Summary,” was part of
a series of 9/11 Commission records moved to the National Archives at the start
of the year. It was found there, and posted to the History
Commons site at Scribd, by History Commons contributor paxvector, in the
files of the commission’s Team 8, which focused on the failed emergency response
on the day of the attacks. The summary appears to have been drafted by one of
the commission’s staffers, possibly Miles Kara, based on documents submitted
by NORAD.
