Jury awards $156M to family of US teen slain in Israel

[JURIST] A jury has awarded the parents of 17-year old David Boim $52 million in damages in one of the first jury awards against US-based charities accused of supporting terrorism. Boim was killed by gunmen in Israel's West Bank in 1996. Before trial, US Magistrate Judge Arlander Keys found the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Islamic Association for Palestine and alleged Hamas fund-raiser Mohammed Salah liable for Boim's death. Judge Keys tripled the jury's damage award, in accordance with US anti-terrorism law. AP has more.
