A federal judge has signed a default judgment finding Iran, the Taliban and al Qaeda liable in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Judge George Daniels in Manhattan signed the judgment Thursday, a week after hearing testimony in the 10-year-old case. The signed ruling, which he promised last week, came in a $100 billion lawsuit brought by family members of victims of the attacks. He directed a magistrate judge to preside over remaining issues, including fixing compensatory and punitive damages.

Daniels signed findings of fact saying the plaintiffs had established that the 2001 attacks were caused by the support the defendants provided to al Qaeda. The findings also said Iran continues to provide material support and resources to al Qaeda by providing a safe haven for al Qaeda leadership and rank-and-file al Qaeda members.

During last week’s open-court hearing, family members of Sept. 11 victims sat through a four-hour presentation from attorneys who cited evidence supporting their claims that Iran actively assisted the hijackers of planes that crashed into the World Trade Center towers, at the Pentagon and into a field in Pennsylvania. Former members of the Sept. 11 Commission and three Iranian defectors also spoke.

It would be near impossible to collect any damages, especially from the Taliban or al Qaeda.

Iran has not commented on the ruling. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly denied any Iranian connection in the Sept. 11 attacks or with al Qaeda. Saudi Arabia had been knocked out of the lawsuit, but lawyers filed papers on Thursday to reinstate Saudi Arabia as a defendant.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment.

      BEFORE-ITS-NEWS (that’s because it will never become real news!

      LOL.

      Another propaganda piece of crap offered up by BIT who hasn’t ever gotten a single scoop on any big issue to justify its web name.

    • Honesty

      The Judge should be charged with seditious Libel & slander. Just because HE says so, does not make it true. Beware which liars you listen to…

    • Seriously Ticked

      “Judge George Daniels in Manhattan signed the judgment Thursday, a week after hearing testimony in the 10-year-old case.”

      I wonder if the good judge can tell us how Iran got all that thermate loaded in to heavily secure buildings? Perhaps he can expound on how the dancing Israelis were on the scene to “document the event” (their own words)?

      Does the position of “judge” pay very well? My Labrador Retriever is looking for some part-time work.

      Here is a judge with his head up someone’s ass…all the way.
      What an idiot!
      But if you think so, Your High Ass Holiness, just bill them at their home address and they will pay your court authorized fines.
      Honest they will.
      Or do you suggest killing them?
      Go to hell, Your un-honor!

      more war mongering

    • Idiot Proof

      And so was Iceland, Chile, Samoa, Outer Mongolia- but not Inner Mongolia, and the island paradise of Nassau, The Bahamas, ESPECIALLY Nassau, that bastion of sanctuary for freedom hating terrorists! We NEED to invade, attack and occupy all of these havens of evil-doers, where they plan their heinous terror attacks against us unwitting materialistic mass consumers…Hurry! Before it’s too late!

      And the Galapagos, we need the Galapagos Islands too!

    • Idiot Proof

      Labrador Retriever? Me-thinks that position might be better filled by a former hollywood movie chimp…oh my bad, that was the former prez o dent!
