Saudi investors are reported to have withdrawn billions of dollars from the United States, as relations between the two countries have come under increasing strain, according to a Financial Times report.

Saudis have reacted with anger to a lawsuit for damages filed last week by families of 11 September victims against Saudi banks and charities. The suit accuses three senior Saudi princes, several Saudi and other foreign banks and Sudan's Government of funding Osama bin Laden. The lawsuit alleges Saudi money has "for years been funneled to encourage radical anti-Americanism as well as to fund the al-Qaeda terrorists". Fifteen of the 19 men who hijacked planes on 11 September have been identified as Saudi, but the country's government has repeatedly stressed it was not involved in the attacks.

The Financial Times publication writes that accusations that Saudi Arabia's austere brand of Islam breeds terrorism and its charities finance al-Qaeda have been perceived in the kingdom as attacks on Saudi society and its religion. (BBC)
