Iran ordered to pay $33 million to killed Israeli diplomat's family

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/958203.html

ran must pay more than $33 million dollars to the family of a U.S.-born Israeli diplomat killed in a 1992 terror attack, a United States federal judge said Monday.

U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle said Iran was responsible for the truck bombing at the Israeli Embassy in Argentina. The blast killed 29 people, including David Ben-Rafael, who was born in the United States before emigrating to Israel.

Hezbollah accepted responsibility for the bombing, and the United States has held Iran responsible for helping finance and organize the group's activities. U.S. law normally prevents people from suing foreign nations, but an exception is made for nations that support terrorism. Iran was designated a state sponsor of terror in 1984.

6. Yeah no kidding

You would think that people would be happy that people were being held accountable for murder.

Yes there are a lot of bills to pay all around. But really this is a good thing... sort of. I'm kind of thinking this is more war drum beating in disguise... hmmm.
