"The lawsuits claim the Arab Bank aided terrorism by acting as the administrator of an "insurance plan" by the Saudi Committee in Support of the "Intifada al Quds", which paid $5,300 to the families of Hamas, Jihad Islami and Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades suicide bombers."
http://www.debka.com/headline.php?hid=684 A federal court in Brooklyn has upheld three lawsuits accusing the Jordan-based Arab bank of promoting Palestinian suicide attacks by funneling Saudi money to bombers' families. September 3, 2005, 1:36 PM (GMT+02:00) The suits were filed by American victims of Palestinian terror, including the widow of John Linde Jr, from Missouri, one of the three US security guards who died when a bomb blew up their vehicle in a US embassy convoy driving in the Gaza Strip in October 2003. DEBKAfile adds: The attack was planned by the Popular Committees, an umbrella for Gaza's Palestinian terrorist groups. Notwithstanding Washington's repeated demands, the Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas has not extradited the killers. They moreover walk free in Khan Younes and Deir al Balakh and draw Palestinian Authority wages as "security police." The Brooklyn court's ruling opens the way for survivors of Palestinian terror and victims' families to seek hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. The lawsuits claim the Arab Bank aided terrorism by acting as the administrator of an "insurance plan" by the Saudi Committee in Support of the "Intifada al Quds", which paid $5,300 to the families of Hamas, Jihad Islami and Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades suicide bombers. The court dismissed two of the eight counts in the lawsuits. Last week a Long Island court froze the assents of the Palestinian Authority for failing to compensate the orphans of Yaron and Efrat Ungar who were shot dead in 1996 by Hamas gunmen. ------------------------ Yahoo!
