Supreme Court Backs Law Allowing Terrorism Victims to Sue
The Supreme Court made a big decision on Friday about terrorism lawsuits. All nine judges agreed that American victims can sue two Palestinian groups in US courts.

A lower court had said this wasn't fair to these groups. But the Supreme Court disagrewhile the lower judges got it wrong. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the main decision.
