U.S. Court Orders Iran, Syria Liable for Attacks in Israel
(AP-Washington Post) A U.S. court has ruled that Iran and Syria are liable for compensation for American citizens wounded and killed in seven attacks by Palestinians in Israel, including the killing of U.S. Army veteran Taylor Force. Congress later approved the Taylor Force Act, which withholds funding to the Palestinians that was used to reward the families of attackers. Judge Randolph D. Moss in U.S. District Court in Washington ruled that Americans were eligible for damages from Iran and Syria because they provided "material support" to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
