Arab Bank found liable over Hamas attacks, US jury says
In a first-of-its-kind case, a US jury on Monday said Arab Bank Plc provided material support to Hamas, and must therefore compensate the victims of two dozen attacks the Islamic militant group allegedly carried out in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The judgment, which followed a closely watched six-week trial in Brooklyn federal court, came in what lawyers said was the first terrorism financing civil case to reach trial in the United States.
