Arab Bank Liable Over Hamas Attacks

(Reuters) - A U.S. jury on Monday found Arab Bank Plc liable for providing material support to Hamas, and said it must compensate victims of two dozen attacks the Islamic militant group was suspected of carrying out in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Jurors needed less than two days of deliberations to reach their verdict after a six-week trial in Brooklyn federal court that lawyers described as the first terrorism financing civil case to reach trial in the United States.
