U.S. will not block lawsuit over American killed by Palestinian militantsPosted: 05:33 PM ET
WASHINGTON (CNN) - The U.S. government Friday announced that it will not try to block a lawsuit filed by the family of an American terror victim against the Palestinian Authority. The authority wanted the United States to intervene, saying it could be driven into bankruptcy. The lawsuit was filed by the family of Aharon Ellis, killed in a shooting in Israel in 2002. Palestinian militants claimed responsibility for the attack. His wife, Leslye Knox, an American citizen, filed the suit on her behalf and her six children as well as other relatives. The U.S. court awarded them almost $200 million. –From CNN's Charley Keyes |
