ICJ rejects US claims on Iran's frozen assets

THE HAGUE, 14 Feb 2019 [Fik/News Sources]: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) rejected on Wednesday the U.S. objection on Iran's bid to recover $1.75 billion worth of frozen assets which the U.S. claims should go to victims of attacks linked to Tehran. The ICJ has affirmed that it has the "jurisdiction" over the case filed by Iran in 2016 against the U.S. The UN's highest court also dismissed the U.S.'s objection on Iran's alleged support of terrorism on the grounds of having no evidence in this matter.

WASHINGTON, 15 Sep 2019 [Fik/News Sources]: Hamza bin Laden, son of slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was killed in a U.S. counter-terrorism operation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, President Donald Trump confirmed Saturday. "The loss of Hamza bin Laden not only deprives al-Qa'ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group," Trump said in a statement. The junior bin Laden had been gaining popularity in his father's al-Qaeda terrorist network.   In early August, NBC News broke the story, citing three anonymous government officials who would not specify where or when Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. had any role in his death.
