The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a lower court's denial of
Afghanistan's motion to dismiss a complaint brought by the husband of a
victim of the September 11th attacks. The court found that the
plaintiff's suit was properly considered under the noncommercial tort
exception to foreign sovereign immunity, but remanded the case back to
the lower court to resolve factual issues concerning Afghanistan's
involvement with the 9/11 attacks. 2nd Circuit Allows 9/11 Lawsuit Against Afghanistan to Move Forward
