Manhattan Federal Judge orders payments to 110 survivors and estates of 47 victims, including pilot of the plane, which hit the World Trade Center
A judge Monday awarded 9/11 kin of the victims and survivors $6 billion in their suit targeting al-Qaeda and silent partner Iran for complicity in the heinous plot that killed nearly 3,000people.
Manhattan Federal Magistrate Judge Frank Maas’ ruling is the first to hit those responsible for the attacks with civil penalties, which would be due to 110 survivors and to the estates of 47 victims that are parties to the suit.
