New York, August 2: Owing to lack of evidence in the September 11 attacks, Saudi Arabia says it should be dropped from a September 11 lawsuit filed by victims' families.

Lawyers for Saudi Arabia made the request in papers filed on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. The US ally argued that after 14 years it's time to free it from the USD 100 billion lawsuit.

There's no proof it backed 9/11 attacks, claims Saudi Arabia

It said claims against Saudi Arabia were based on thousands of pages of hearsay and speculation with no real proof it caused the attacks by knowingly or recklessly aiding terrorists.

After the filing, a New Jersey-based group representing 9/11 families and survivors said there's overwhelming evidence against the kingdom.

The group said that Saudi Arabia was trying to "duck, dodge and distract" from overwhelming proof of its involvement.
