In what may be a landmark blow to global terror financing, a federal judge in the US ordered the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization to pay $116m. to the family of a US citizen who was murdered in Israel eight years ago.[...]
The case was filed in 2000 under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1991, which allows American victims of terrorist attacks overseas to seek damages in US courts, and Strachman praised the court "for recognizing, exactly, the purpose of the Anti-Terrorism Act, and that is to create an economic penalty for terrorism."
The PA's attorney, former [US] attorney-general Ramsey Clark, was out of the country and did not respond to a fax seeking comment, and the PLO mission to the United Nations did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Why am I not surprised about what side Ramsey L3 Clark is on? (Wintry smile.)
