Spanish Court Shelves Israeli Probe
(AP) Ciaran Giles - Spain's Supreme Court Tuesday upheld a lower court decision to shelve a probe of an Israeli air force bombing that killed a Hamas militant in Gaza in 2002. The National Court ruled in June that Spain lacked jurisdiction because Israel was already investigating the attack. The Supreme Court said that ruling was correct, rejecting an appeal by the Arab Cause Solidarity Committee. The probe was begun in 2009 by a National Court investigating magistrate under Spain's practice of universal jurisdiction.
