Japanese bank ordered to give Iranian funds to '96 bombing victims
- Iran: Thursday, January 31 - 2013 at 01:31
A US court has ordered the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ to turn over funds belonging to Iran-based entities to the families of 17 US Air Force service members killed in a 1996 attack in Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg has reported. The assets at issue total about $357,000 and Bank of Tokyo said it doesn't oppose releasing them, according to the filing. The families sought the judgment against the Islamic Republic after a federal court in Washington ruled Iran provided support for the attacks and entered judgment against Iran for damages of $336,658,063, according to the ruling.
