Israel muzzles witness in US anti-terrorism lawsuit

[IDemo]

JERUSALEM -- The Israeli government has decided to prevent a key witness from testifying in an anti-terrorism case in the United States, drawing accusations that it is caving in to pressure from China.

The lawsuit revolves around allegations that Bank of China knowingly allowed Palestinian militants to use its accounts to finance their operations, including a suicide attack in the city of Tel Aviv in 2006 that killed 11 people.

Families of the dead, among them 16-year-old American holidaymaker* Daniel Wultz, have launched at least two cases in the United States against China's fourth largest lender.

The bank denies any wrongdoing.

No - I'm not going to alert on this, but this kind of topic is better received in the Israel/Palestine forum.
