Court hands over Iran assets to victims’ kin

Ottawa: A Canadian judge yesterday ordered Iran’s non-diplomatic land and bank accounts in Canada to be handed over to victims of attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah, sponsored by Tehran.

The judgment awards a reported $13 million to families of Americans, who died in eight bombings or hostage-takings in Buenos Aires, Israel, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia from 1983 to 2002. Hundreds died in the attacks. Canada lists Iran as a State sponsor of terrorism.
