U.S. victims of terror in Israel sue Swiss bank for ties with Iran

The people of Gaza and all of Palestine should file
lawsuits! dating back to 60 years ago.


Several American victims of terrorist attacks in Israel are demanding more than $500 million in compensation from a Swiss bank.

The plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit say that UBS AG provided cash to Iran that made it possible for the country to fund terrorism. The lawsuit says UBS knew the money would be used to carry out terrorist attacks.

UBS did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in Manhattan. It notes that the Federal Reserve fined UBS $100 million in 2004 for violating trade sanctions by sending dollars to Iran and other countries.

In February, a federal court judge in Brooklyn U.S. approved a lawsuit on similar grounds filed by victims of terror against the Arab Bank for alleged business links with terrorist organizations.
