NEW YORK -- As the United States continues its long manhunt for Osama bin Laden, victims of Sept. 11 are focusing on their own target: the bin Laden family fortune.
Victims and survivors of the 2001 attack and insurance companies said the bin Laden family should be held liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. They said the bin Laden family failed to cut off ties with their infamous relative after learning he was devising terrorist plots.
Lawyers for the victims and survivors have asked a federal judge to let them seek more information to prove their claim. Their lawsuit targets the Saudi Binladin Group, along with numerous banks, charities and individuals worldwide.
The Saudi Binladin Group is a construction and engineering company that has expansive holdings in the Middle East. Osama bin Laden once owned a small stake in the company.
