Palestinian Terrorist Sues Britain for Letting Israel Catch Him
Posted by Dave Blount at June 21, 2006 1:53 PM
Despite the best efforts of shysters like John Edwards, America's dominance in the realm of absurd lawsuits is being threatened by of all people a Palestinian terrorist.
Ahmed Saadat, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, is believed to have masterminded the 2001 assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi. He was held in a West Bank prison supervised by British and American monitors, until the monitors were called home because of threats to their security. Within minutes of their departure, Israeli troops stormed the prison, capturing Saadat and his accomplices before they could be set loose to murder more Jews.
Incredibly, Saadat's lawyer Kate Maynard is filing suit against the British Government, alleging that Britain violated the poor terrorist's rights by letting him fall into the hands of the Israelis he's been killing.
As it turns out, Saadat won't even be charged in Zeevi's murder due to insufficient evidence. But he has other blood on his hands, and is being tried on several terrorism-related charges.
