Would be very interesting how they can establish vicarious liability. Maybe if the Bin Laden family had 1) notice of the activities of Osama and 2) assented to or failed to prevent their own funds from being used for terrorism. Also, it may be susceptible to a transfer of venue motion because most of the acts being alleged [outside of the actual terrorist action] was done outside of the US. I'm not sure Saudi courts would be too accommodating.
