Canada court hands over Iran assets to terror victims’ families
[IsraelTimes] Americans awarded $13 million in damages for Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Hezbollah attacks in Israel, Argentina...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... , Leb
The judgment, obtained by AFP on Friday, awards a reported $13 million to families of Americans who died in eight bombings or hostage-takings in Buenos Aires, Israel, Leb and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... from 1983 to 2002. Hundreds died in the attacks. The families, led by the parents of Marla Bennett, who was killed when a jacket wallah struck at a cafeteria at Hebrew University in Israel in 2002, had successfully sued the Islamic republic in the United States. The US court found that Iran was responsible for training Hamas and Hezbollah operatives, as well as backing the groups financially. But those judgments remain largely unpaid. "Terrorism is one of the world’s greatest threats," Ontario Superior Court Justice Glenn Hainey said in his decision. "The broad issue before the court is whether Iran is entitled to immunity from the jurisdiction of Canadian courts for its support of terrorism." The Canadian lawsuits were brought under a relatively new law passed in 2012 that allows victims and their families to collect damages from state sponsors of terrorism. Canada lists Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism. Iran did not defend against either the US or Canadian lawsuits. The ruling comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government seeks to re-establish diplomatic ties with Iran, and following Tehran’s detention of a Montreal professor, Homa Hoodfar, without charges.
