NEW YORK (AP) — A judge heard arguments but won’t immediately decide if Saudi Arabia should remain a defendant in lawsuits brought by relatives of people killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Lawyers for Saudi Arabia say the nation and the United States were partners in the 1990s against terrorism, al-Qaida and its founder, Osama bin Laden. Lawyers for relatives of 9/11 victims claim that a group of extremist religious leaders in Saudi Arabia aided the 9/11 hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
