Lebanon: U.S. Sued by Citizens
“An Arab-American civil rights group filed a federal lawsuit on Monday charging the Bush administration with failing to protect the lives of thousands of U.S. citizens trapped in Lebanon by the Israeli military offensive.
The lawsuit, which was filed by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, seeks an emergency court order that would compel the U.S. government to stop sending weapons to Israel as long as U.S. citizens are trying to leave Lebanon….
The State Department said about 25,000 Americans were in Lebanon when the hostilities started and that 13,600 had been evacuated as of Monday.
The ADC said many of the thousands of U.S. citizens remaining are trapped in the south of Lebanon without a means of getting help.”
