Canadian families join thousands in 9/11 lawsuit against al-Qaida supporters: "TORONTO (CP) -- Lucia Balzan couldn't help her sister Mary Stanley the day two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York.
But by joining a $1-trillion US lawsuit that stems from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Balzan said she at least can do something in her sister's memory.

'My sister died a terrible death in those buildings and someone should be accountable for what they did,' Balzan told CBC-TV's The National.
Balzan is one of 13 Canadian families who have joined thousands of Americans who launched the lawsuit last year. Sept. 9 was the final day for people to join the suit.
The lawsuit names close to 200 charities, banks and organizations allegedly to have funnelled money to the terrorist group al-Qaida.
Paul Miller, the lawyer representing the Canadian families, says the legal action is aimed at bankrupting terrorist organizations.
'The way to stop terrorism is to bankrupt them, stop the flow of money,' he told the CBC. "
