Lawsuit on Hamas slayings lingers in US court

A long and tortuous case over whether the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority can be forced to pay more than $116 million for a Hamas terrorist attack that killed a US citizen and his wife may be coming to an end.

It's been nearly 15 years since a machine-gun attack by Hamas militants killed US citizen Yaron Ungar and his pregnant wife, Efrat, as they drove home from a wedding in Israel. Their relatives sued in American courts under a statute allowing US citizens and their estates to seek damages for overseas acts of terrorism. (AP)
