The 7,630 petitioners, however, are said to stand only a very slim chance of getting past the Justice Department, which has steadfastly upheld the Saudi's claim of 'sovereign immunity'.

Based on the claim, a royal family can evade legal and criminal action citing "potentially significant foreign relations consequences." In some cases, governments have waived this immunity to allow for suits.

The Justice department though is said to have destroyed the critically compromising documents, which had leaked to the lawyers.

Fifteen out of the 19 hijackers of the commercial planes that crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are reportedly Saudis - and none were from Iraq.

Lawyers representing the families of the 9/11 victims, expose evidence allegedly proving the Saudi royal family's financial support for al-Qaeda.
