The woman trying to sue Saudi Arabia for 9/11

Of the 19 hijackers who flew planes into the Pentagon and the World Trade Centre on September 11 2001, 15 were from Saudi Arabia.

The government in Riyadh denies any involvement in the attacks which killed nearly 3,000 people.

But a bill that would allow the families of 9/11 victims to sue the Saudi government is to be debated in the House of Representatives next week.

Kathy Owens spoke to Barbara Plett Usher about the death of her husband Peter Owens and why she wants to take legal action.
