There are a couple of articles out today looking at how various courts—US and EU—are dealing with alleged terrorism financing. The first, from The Philadelphia Enquirer, talks with the Philadelphia law firm that lost its case in the US Appeals Court that attempted to sue several members of the Saudi ruling family. It notes that it has revised its tactics and will now be looking to go after the Saudi-based National Commercial Bank as well as Yassin Al-Qadi and Khalid bin Mahfouz. The article acknowledges that bin Mahfouz has been successful in defending himself in earlier cases.

The second piece is from The Chicago Tribune, reporting that the Europe’s highest court overturned an earlier decision to apply UN sanctions against Al-Qadi and the Al-Barakaat International Foundation because they were prevented from defending themselves against those sanctions.
