American victim of 'Palestinian' terror tries to impound flotilla ships

American biologist Alan Bauer, who was seriously wounded along with his son in a 2002 'Palestinian' terror attack, has filed suit in Federal court in Manhattan, seeking to impound 14 ships that are scheduled to participate in the flotilla of fools on the ground that the funding for the ships was raised illegally in the United States.

The plaintiff, an American biologist, who along with his son Jonathan was seriously injured in a Palestinian suicide bombing on March 21, 2002 in Jerusalem, alleges that The Free Gaza Movement and other American-based anti-Israel organizations have raised funds in the United States to outfit the Gaza Flotilla ships. The lawsuit contends that furnishing and outfitting the ships, which are being used for hostilities against a US ally, violates American law. The plaintiff rests his claim upon the rarely utilized 18th century "informant" statute (18 U.S.C. section 962) that allows a plaintiff (called an "informer") to privately seize ships outfitted in the United States for use against a US ally.

And that's not the only action against the flotilla.

Last week one of the ships that was scheduled to participate in the flotilla was informed that it would not be insured by its maritime insurance company, after the group sent out a warning letter, effectively making it impossible for the ship to leave its port in Marseilles.

Heh.
