Victims of terrorism gain funds but risk political retaliation
A new law allows American terror victims to be compensated from the U S Treasury and later recouped from alleged terrorist states. Critics say the plan may not punish terrorists or alter diplomacy, arguing the money ultimately shifts from U S taxpayers to regimes such as Iran or Libya. Eight families receive about 213 million dollars plus interest from court awards, while concerns persist over enforcement and diplomatic consequences.
