Arab Bank 阿拉伯银行 The long arm of the plaintiff 原告的长臂 American victims of terrorism sue a bank, claiming itabetted attacks 美国恐怖主义的受害者们控告一家银行，声称其支持恐怖袭击 HAMAS, the Islamic militant group that runs Gazaand conducts terrorist attacks in Israel, does not tend to answer court summons. But ArabBank, one of the oldest financial institutions in the Middle East, does. This week, after a decadeof legal toing and froing, it found itself on trial in Brooklyn, accused of complicity in variousacts of terrorism by Hamas in which Americans were killed or injured. The victims and theirfamilies claim that Arab Bank knowingly and purposefully abetted the attacks by providingfinancial services to people and organisations linked to Hamas; Arab Bank denies the claim. 哈马斯，作为一个经营加沙地带穆斯林组织和在以色列引导恐怖袭击的恐怖组织，并没有表现出对法院传票有所回应的意思。但是阿拉伯银行，作为一家中东最为古老的的金融机构却对此做出了回应。本周，在经过了十年法律上的游走之后，他们由于被指控参与了导致了美国人受伤和被杀害的哈马斯所组织各式各样的恐怖行动与之共谋而正在布鲁克林受审。受害者及其家人声称阿拉伯银行 故意的以及有目的性的通过为与哈马斯相关的人或者组织提供金融服务来支持恐怖行动。而阿拉伯银行否认了这项指控。 |
