Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

First America, now Canada awards families of victims of Iranian-sponsored jihadist attacks

Jun 11, 2016 2:13 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

A Canadian court (the Ontario Superior Court of Justice) awarded $13 million from Iran’s frozen assets to the families of Americans who died in several Jihadist attacks globally that have been determined to have been sponsored by Tehran between 1983 to 2002.

Last month it was reported that the rogue state of Iran was planning to sue the U.S. in international court over a similar, but much weightier ruling, in which the U.S. Supreme Court granted two billion dollars in compensation to victims of terror from frozen funds belonging to Tehran.

During a speech, President Hassan Rouhani said Iran would “take this case to the International Court [of Justice] in the near future and will not spare any effort towards the restoration of the nation’s rights through legal, political and banking channels.” Since when does this murderous Jihadist state care about justice, rights and legalities?

“Canadian court awards $13mn in frozen assets to ‘Iran terror’ victims”, RT News, June 11, 2016:

A Canadian court has awarded $13 million in non-diplomatic assets seized from Iran to the families of Americans who died in several attacks globally, which had allegedly been sponsored by Tehran between 1983 to 2002.

The judgment by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, obtained by AFP on Friday, found Tehran responsible for financing and training Hamas and Hezbollah operatives, who carried out eight bombings or hostage-takings in Buenos Aires, Israel, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia over a period spanning nearly 20 years.

“Terrorism is one of the world’s greatest threats,” Ontario Superior Court Justice Glenn Hainey said in his decision. “The broad issue before the court is whether Iran is entitled to immunity from the jurisdiction of Canadian courts for its support of terrorism.”

The ruling for the $13 million payout does not affect Iran’s diplomatic property in Canada but does touch non-diplomatic properties and a list of frozen bank accounts. Tehran did not immediately comment on the court judgment……

      Yes, considering again since 2002 there has been over 22,800 terrorist Saudi Arabia inspired killings from its fabled Arab spring proclamation.
      Time to get some of our oil money back. Gold will do nicely.
      I think if Saudi was accountable to Isis actions, usa, Russia, Assad’s, Kurds could do a better job at killing them, cause the saudis would be squealing like pigs to tell them where they r.

    That’s not punitive.

    There should be a few noughts added to that. At less than $2m per bomb, they probably think it’s a good deal.

    How much does a cruise or hellfire missile cost to develop?

    It’s time for victims of brownshirt LaRaza (“The Race”) brutality to sue billionaire terrorist-financier George Soros under Gingrich’s “Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act.”

    “During a speech, President Hassan Rouhani said Iran would “take this case to the International Court …”

    We seem to be seeing more of the “Delusional Mullah” syndrome here. Only “Nation States” can be parties to the ICJ. If I understand this correctly, the Ontario Superior Court is a federal subdivision of the Canadian State, not the Canadian State itself, and hence cannot be summoned before the court.

    For that matter, I don’t think ANY judicial branch can be summoned before the Court: only government actions are subject to it ?

    Once more, we see the Mullah’s completely misunderstanding the concept of International bodies… probably just for the benefit of the cameras.

      hi nic, more to the point, I wonder how Iran will be treated by the International Court if it accepts jurisdiction–lots of terror attacks were done openly in their name.

    THIRTEEN MILLION (13) DOLLARS WORTH OF LIFE? THE REALITY IS, SHOULD HAVE BEEN 13 BILLION DOLLARS. AND STILL IT’S NOT GONNA BRING A FAMILY MEMBER, A PARENT , A BROTHER OR A SISTER. IF THESE BASTARDS DON’T VALUE A HUMAN LIFE, THAN THEIR LIVES SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN INSTEAD AS REPARATION BUT THAT IS NOT THE CHRISTIAN WAY BUT OF THE ISLAM’S. MAY GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS OF TERRORIST AND VICTIMS OF ISLAM’S FALSE IDEOLOGY.
