US judge: Iran must pay $6bn to victims of 9/11 attacks
Lawsuit alleges Iran trained September 11 hijackers but official investigation found no evidence of Iranian involvement.

A judge in the US has issued a default judgement requiring Iran to pay more than $6bn to victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed almost 3,000 people, court filings show.

Monday's ruling in the case - Thomas Burnett, Sr et al v. The Islamic Republic of Iran et al - finds "the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran" liable for the deaths of more than 1,000 people as a result of the September 11 attacks, Judge George B Daniels of the Southern District Court of New York wrote.

Not sure what all of this symbolizes, Iran was found guilty in another previous case, but the article makes clear, that the official investigation did not find Iran heavily culpable except for most hijackers being in Iran in the previous year and not having their passports stamped. There was a similar verdict against Iran in the past as well.
