U.S. Supreme Court Deals "Terrible Blow" to Families Suing the PLO
(JTA) Ron Kampeas - Mark Sokolow, his wife and two of his daughters were injured in a Jerusalem suicide bombing in 2002. His fellow plaintiffs are families of victims of terrorist attacks in Israel that killed 33, including several Americans, and wounded over 450. Their suit argued that the late PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat had paid attackers and their families, and that they had standing to sue his organization under the 1992 Anti-Terrorism Act.
