Administration Won't Take Sides in Terrorism Case Against Palestinians
[Washington Post] Glenn Kessler - The Bush administration said Friday it is concerned that lawsuits by victims of terrorism could harm the "financial and political viability" of the Palestinian Authority, but it told a federal judge it will not offer an opinion on whether he should nullify a $174 million judgment. A federal judge in 2006 ordered the PLO and the PA to pay this amount to Leslye Knox, widow of Aharon Ellis, a U.S. citizen killed in Israel in 2002, and to other Ellis relatives.
