Congress Questions Justice Department's Commitment to Prosecuting Palestinian Terrorists Who Killed Americans
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - Palestinian terrorists have murdered at least 64 Americans since 1993. Yet the U.S. government has failed to take legal action against a single Palestinian terrorist responsible for killing Americans abroad despite a congressional mandate ordering the Justice Department to take action against these individuals, lawmakers disclosed during a Tuesday hearing. Many of the terrorists continue to roam free across the Middle East, with one hosting a Hamas-affiliated television show in Jordan. "This is not what Congress intended" when it created the DOJ's Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism in 2005, said Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security.
