This is the Most stupid waste of Tax payers money I have ever seen...NEW YORK (AP) — A magistrate judge in New York has recommended al-Qaida be assessed $9.3 billion for the damage done to properties and businesses in the Sept. 11 attacks.
Federal Magistrate Judge Frank Maas in a ruling Friday sent the recommendation to a district judge presiding over a lawsuit brought by several insurance companies.
The companies in 2003 sued various defendants, seeking damages for the 2001 terror attacks, which demolished the World Trade Center's twin towers. Al-Qaida never responded to the lawsuit and was found in default in 2006. Maas determined the actual damages and then tripled them as allowed by law.
At this time, the companies were only seeking an assessment of damages against al-Qaida. The organization founded by Osama bin Laden is blamed for orchestrating the terror attacks.

"Al-Qaida never responded to the lawsuit ..." Okay I'm going to ask who "served" Al-Qaida with the law suit papers and what address was the lawsuite sent too? We live in a nutty world.They better pay or else the US will turn it over to a collection agency and they will neverrrrrr stop calling.This has got to be the dumbest news in history, bar none. Morons - Judges and Lawyers, live in their own world, where $500/hr is normal starting pay. They will have to serve the Judgment at Al Qaida's corporate office, following which the organization will process a certified check in 2 weeks....
