UK Bank Sued in U.S. for Serving Hamas
(Jerusalem Post) Jonathan Schneider - A lawsuit has been filed in New York's Federal Court by a group of American victims of Palestinian terror against a major British bank accused of permitting a recognized Hamas charity to open accounts and transfer funds. Despite continuous warnings from the Mossad and British intelligence services, the National Westminster Bank declined to prevent Interpal, a UK-based organization, from using its services. Lawyer Nitzana Darshan-Leitner said there was clear evidence to suggest that money from Saudi Arabia reached Hamas terrorists via Interpal. "In 2003, both the U.S. and British governments declared that the charity in question was undoubtedly linked to a functioning terrorist organization and all their bank accounts were frozen," she said.
