Jordanian bank faces Hamas funding claims in NY trial

Aug 10, 2014 2:29 pm By Robert Spencer

arabbankIf the full story of jihad terror financing were ever revealed, it would no doubt include many people of great wealth, power, and influence, who hold the same beliefs as those whom they’re financing.

“Jordanian bank faces Hamas funding claims in NY trial,” by Camilla Hall, Financial Times, August 10, 2014:

A landmark terror financing trial is set to begin in New York on Monday as Jordan’s Arab Bank is pitted against the families and victims of attacks allegedly carried out by Hamas between 2001 and 2004.

Barring a last-minute settlement, both sides will convene at a Brooklyn court in front of US District Judge Brian Cogan as the jury is selected for a rare civil terror financing trial against a bank in the US.

The trial dates back to allegations made a decade ago by a group of families and victims under the Anti-Terrorism Act that Arab Bank should be held liable for death and injuries resulting from 24 attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian groups.

“The kind of funding we’re talking about requires formal bank channels. It can’t be distributed in a suitcase,” Gary Osen, a lawyer representing the almost 300 plaintiffs, told the Financial Times….

    Has the Obama/Holder (In)justice department filed a friend of the court brief, in favor of the bank?

    A few years ago, the New York Attorney General (in my view, a rare attempt at doing something worthwhile) filed a lawsuit against a British Bank (I think The Standard Bank or somethign similair, not sure) for laundering Iranian money.

    The A. G. used one law.

    the bank’s defense was- they were NOT ALUDNERING THE MONEY- THEY DEPOSITIED IT IN THEIR N.Y. AFFILAITE, SO THAT THEY CAN THEN TRANSFER IT TO THEIR CAYMAN AFFILIATE.

    (I forgot the name they called it-something that sounded innocuous).

    Anyone remember this? the outcome?

      I THINK (not sure) the bank referred to is Standard Chartered-if that is still a mjaor bank.

      But not sure.

      Any thoughts welcome.

    The biggest financiers for Hamas and Hezbollah are reputed to be the Qataris.

    Coincidently they are also alleged to have been major contributors for the campaigns to elect and re-elect the Commander in Mischief.

      For Hamas, I think almsot definitely;as to hezbollah–I have been under the impression it is Iran.

      Although I believe Qatar does money laundering for Iran.

    Did Washington would provide Jordan with $360 million in economic support, $300 million for military financing, and an additional $340 million for overseas contingency operations including the global war on terrorism?

    They thought the extra $340 million was to support the global war of terrorism.
