Foreign Ministry condemns passage of U.S. Sept. 11 law
Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry condemned the passage of a USA law that would allow families of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to sue the Kingdom for damages, calling it a matter of "great concern" in a statement on Thursday. "The erosion of sovereign immunity will have a negative impact on all nations, including the USA," said the Saudi statement. The foreign ministry expressed hope that the USA Congress would correct the legislation "to avoid the serious unintended consequences that may ensue”. (Reuters)
