A new lawsuit brought by US soldiers involving a number of banks who working with Iran, funded terrorist operations in Iraq, which caused the death or harm to US soldiers, going back to 1987.
Each bank “understood that its conduct was part of a larger scheme engineered by Iran,” according to the complaint. “Each defendant also knew, or was deliberately indifferent to the conspiracy’s purposes and criminal objectives.”
Soldiers wounded in attacks and families of those who were killed are seeking unspecified damages.
It will be interesting to see if any of those from the banks get charged under the Espionage Act as many innocent whistle-blowers have been by the US government. Here we have the actual funding of those involved in lethal terrorist activity, not just journalists doing their job or soldiers or citizens noticing government wrong-doing. I may be cynical, but I would bet that the US government does very little about it.
