High level Saudis removed from 9/11 lawsuit

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Saudi High Commission for Relief and two Saudi princes were granted immunity on Wednesday from litigation in three lawsuits stemming from the September 11 attacks on the United States.

U.S. District Judge Richard Casey found that Prince Salman, president of the High Commission, and Interior Minister Prince Nayef were not personally liable since they were acting as agents of the Saudi government.

The lawsuits charged that the High Commission and the princes had sponsored terror with Saudi funds under their direction.

In January, Casey ruled that Saudi Arabia, the Saudi defence minister and the country's ambassador to Britain all had immunity from the litigation.
