Washington: Nine American and Israeli victims of the 2008 Mumbai attacks have demanded a compensation of $688 million from the Pakistan-based perpetrators of the terror assault, including JuD chief Hafiz Saeed.

In a re-submission before a New York court on 30 and 31 October, the nine victims of the Mumbai attacks –- from the US and Israel –- argued for a "trial by jury" and "default judgement" against Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD)/Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

They also argued for a "trial by jury" and "default judgement" against JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, LeT commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Sajid Majid, Azam Cheema and two other Pakistani nationals Major Iqbal and Major Sameer Ali.

According to their attorney, the request for "trial by jury", "default judgement" and a "$688 million compensation" was filed before the Eastern District Court of New York after 1 November, 2013, court summons were duly served to JuD/LeT and other defendants in Pakistan to which they did not respond.

The compensation have been sought by the family members of seven persons who were brutally killed by LeT terrorists and two others who were injured.

The 26/11 American and Israeli victims had first filed their case on 19 November, 2010.

They had also sought action against ISI and its chief, but the court ruled that out after the US State Department told the court that they enjoyed diplomatic immunity as they were a part of a foreign government.

According to court papers, LeT, its leaders and other defendants were served with court summons and complaints.

But they have failed to answer or otherwise defend against this action, alleged the attorney on behalf of the 26/11 victims including Rabbi Shimon Rosenberg, father of Rifka Holtzberg who was murdered alongside her husband Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg during the attack on the Chabad House in Mumbai.

Among others include Rabbi Nachman Holtzberg, father of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg who was killed in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

Other plaintiffs are Moses Shvarzblat and Maribeth Jeswani on behalf of family members killed in the attacks.

Andreina Varagona, who survived after getting shot in her right arm and leg in the attack, sued on her own behalf.

As many as 166 people died and more than 300 were injured when 10 LeT terrorists carried out the attack on multiple locations in Mumbai, including the Oberoi Trident Hotel, the Taj Mahal Hotel, the Leopold Cafe, the Cama and Albless Hospital, the Metro Cinema, the CST Railway Station and the Chabad House.

In June, the US added LeT affiliates, including the JuD, to its list of designated terror organisations.

Nine of the ten terrorists were killed during the siege.

In the court, the attorneys for 26/11 victims has said that the LeT and its leaders were successfully served the court summons at their addresses in Pakistan.

The victims alleged that the 26/11 perpetrators based in Pakistan decided not to respond to the court summons.

As a result they have now moved the petition for a default judgement against them.

In addition, the 26/11 victims have sought a total compensation of $688 million, according to court papers.

"At the time of the Mumbai terrorist attacks the defendant terrorist organisation responsible for organising and perpetrating the attacks functioned under the name Jamaat-ud-Dawa," said attorneys James P Kreindler and Andrew J Maloney in their submission on behalf of the 26/11 victims.

"Over the course of its existence it had assumed several aliases, including Markaz-ud-Dawa, Idara Khidmat-e-Khalq and Tehrik-e-Tahaffuz-e-Qibla Awal, but the most internationally recognised and widely known alias remains LeT," the attorneys said.

"The Mumbai terrorist attack was organised by a terrorist organization, LeT, with longstanding and well-documented hatred of the United States," they said.

The attack "was carried out with the help of an American citizen, David Headley, involved the use of cell phones for which virtual numbers were purchased from a US company, Callphonex, specifically targeted Americans, and resulted in American deaths," they said.

"That Americans were not the sole victims is only evidence of the terrorists' multi-pronged enemy list that included Israelis and Indians. The attackers targeted the Oberoi Hotel and the Taj Mahal Hotel because they were frequented by foreigners, and eye witness accounts from surviving hostages at both hotels tell of the harrowing experience of hearing the terrorists ask groups of hostages for American and British passport-holders," the attorneys said in thier submission.

26/11 Mumbai attacks: Victims seek $688 mn from Pak-based accused - Firstpost

they won't see a penny of that money….

[qamar1990]

What they have in common? I thought ZB died long before 26/11

add who ever you want as defendant lmao… the only thing u will get few dead trees because of all the wasted paper work for this law suit lol….

 

[Icewolf]

That amount should be deducted from the next installment of aid money.

Indian wet dreams....

 

[qamar1990]

Some sharp lawyers are trying to milk money from the victims.


Unfortunately these lawyers are misguiding their clients.


Exact nature of contacts with Hafiz Saeed were never proven. Not even after the bozo Ajmal Kassab was caught alive.

These guys did the act on behest of Ayman Zawahiri types.

Hafiz Saeed is too small of a fish to conduct this complex operation.



Indians make this mistake of definining Pakistan as enemy.

In reality Pakistan aand India have a shared enemy. AlQaida / ISIS

last time i checked an indian official said that 26/11 was an inside job…. and the video i seen of ajmal kasab he was saying baghwan in it.

Nothings gonna come, instead

We.are digging our grave ourselves by being "Secular state!"

This case should get end soon as the results would help Pakistan to claim money for the losses it has suffered. It will help in fixing the rate per head and surely India won't spared then. Yaa Pakistan and its people are big hearted and need no excuses to forgive it enemies, but if one needs to find that mercy one has to beg for it.

Thats more like American and Israeli wet dream, we Indians know your condition that you cant pay...

We can't pay, but doesn't mean you'll make us. You are not even in any league Indians. You are another third world country like Ethiopia thinking its top dog to the rest of the world. That's what you guys just don't understand

Just saying, add random people who may or may not mean anything. What is India's fetish with Hafiz Saeed? There has been zero credible evidence provided by India, other than farts and guesses. Courts work on the basis of evidence, which India has not provided and is not willing to provide. It thinks that just by using it's own media to blame a person, Pakistan will hand in Hafiz Saeed. It doesn't happen that way, neither any where else in the world. So don't be stupid. I can blame you all i want, pull face down or whatever, but if i have no evidence, the courts will throw the case out. So you can cry all you want, and nothing will happen.

in case if you haven't observed.it is US and Israel citizens that asking compensation. Now don't say even US and Israel are having fetish with Hafiz Saeed.
