Saudi Support for the Taliban: Lawyers for the plaintiffs conducted a sworn video deposition in Europe with a Muslim man from Afghanistan who said he had fought against the Taliban in the late 1990s. In the deposition, the man described Saudi support for the Taliban and said that during negotiations about prisoner exchanges and a cease fire in 1998, he had witnessed a Saudi emissary, who he said was sent to Kabul by Turki Al Faisal, the former Saudi intelligence chief, give a check for a billion riyals to a top Taliban leader. The lawyers for the plaintiffs blacked out the name of the witness and other identifying information in the transcript of the deposition because of what they said were concerns about his safety and those around him.
