A Terror Trial Comes to Brooklyn Good morning on this reasonably cool Monday. In a courtroom in Brooklyn today, jurors will hear witnesses describe violence that took place thousands of miles away, more than a decade ago: Two suicide bombings in Israel, outside a Tel Aviv disco in 2001 and on a bus in Jerusalem in 2003. It's part of a civil trial accusing one of the biggest banks in the Middle East, Arab Bank, of knowingly handling money for terrorists linked to Hamas. Stephanie Clifford, The Times's reporter covering the trial in U.S. District Court, told us, "It's pretty unusual to have plaintiffs who are victims of terror attacks in another country trying to get sort of recompense for it here." Arab Bank can be tried in New York because several people injured were from here and because the bank does business here. The suit, filed in 2004 and delayed by politics and complexity, has yielded the first civil trial against a bank under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
