Arab Bank Plc, accused in lawsuits by U.S. victims of terrorist attacks in Israel of administering payments to Palestinian suicide bombers’ families, was sanctioned by a judge for failing to turn over documents.
U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon in Brooklyn, New York, said in a ruling yesterday that she will instruct jurors they may infer that Jordan-based Arab Bank provided financial services to groups designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. and that it processed payments on behalf of a group called the Saudi Committee for the Support of the Intifada Al Quds.
