A US Federal Judge has a message for al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the Islamic Republic of Iran: pay up. Federal Magistrate Judge Frank Maas ruled that those three entities must compensate victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to the tune of $6 billion.
From Manhattan on Monday, Judge Maas ruled that relatives of the nearly 3,000 people killed during the September 11 terrorist attacks shall be awarded a total of $6 billion from three groups of defendants determined by a separate judge last year. Previously Federal Judge George Daniels ruled that al-Qaeda, the Taliban regime and the Iranian government were accountable for the tragedy, although Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has denied any connection on his countrys part. This week Judge Maas put a monetary number to that damage.
In the latest ruling, Judge Maas calls the defendants entities that carried out, or aided and abetted in 9/11 and that they should be responsible for paying the families of those killed. And while some are admitting that collecting that award is almost quite literally impossible, others involved in the suit seem confident that further actions will help them see a paycheck in a matter of months.

Little difficult to pay up when most everyone who was actualy responsible is dead isn't it?
What is this supposed to say to the world other than "it's not enough that we've killed most everybody responsible for the attacks not to mention killing hundreds of innocent civilians in the process, we also demand money from faction(s) that were not even involved in the attacks which they will obviously not give us because we need another reason to bomb the shit out of 'em"
This is some grade A idiocy.

lol Iran? The Taliban? What the hell is wrong with these people? If Al Qaeda has to pay for 911 then teh US has to start paying all the countries it fucked over. The Chilean, Palestinian, Iraqi, Vietnamese, etc. people will be expecting a cheque.

Shouldn't it be Saudi Arabia that ought to pay, then? They have more money to share too. Why Iran out of all places?

Why Iran out of all places?well, obviously the US of all nations doesn't need iran's money, so I think it's a political chest beating move, a move that would be purposeless toward a government that's already pretty obedient.
But yeah this is pretty lulzy

Haven't any of you heard? The Iranian state was behind 9/11!
...Or so they are claiming now. It's quite obvious that they're milking this 9/11 thing for every last drop. I wouldn't be surprised if North Korea and China were behind 9/11 too :lol:

Don't forget about the Islamo-Latino-Leftist conspiracy to destroy America! I bet Chavez, Castro and Morales also had a hand in this!

Really the Taliban is responsible? The very same Taliban that offered to hand Bin Laden over to a third party for trial? Of course, the U.S. refused because trials just aren't as good for profits as war. The Iran thing is just too stupid to comment on.

9/11 was planned in Germany....I guess it's time to send in the tanks. This is fucking stupid though, has Iran ever been mentioned in relation to 9/11 before? seems like the same shit they tried to pull with Iraq.

What about the US government providing financial and medical aid for the citizens who volunteered to help in the aftermath of the attack? The hundreds, maybe thousands, suffering from all kinds of medical and psychological problems as a result (I would think that would be more feasible and, frankly, expected than chasing billions from a foreign power that had nothing to do with the actual attack).
Probably just a part of the overall campaign to paint Iran as the ultimate enemy to US interests and help prepare public opinion for more ..'direct' action against them.
