A federal appeals court has upheld a $156 million judgment against three Palestinian charities accused of bankrolling terrorism. But it has dropped the lone individual from the long-running civil suit.
The opinion was filed over the killing by Hamas terrorists of American-born student David Boim. It says donors to charities are liable if those charities engage in terrorist acts.
But the court is dropping donor Muhammad Salah from the case. It says he was in jail when an anti-terrorism charity law was passed so he could not have violated it.
Boim was fatally shot in May 1996 while standing at a bus stop in a West Bank town near Jerusalem.
