"Victims of terrorist attacks against Israel by Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad can proceed with a lawsuit accusing Bank of China Ltd. of knowingly allowing money transfers that funded the terror groups, a state judge in Manhattan has ruled."
Mind, knowing the Bank of China, as I do as occasional customer, I'd be more inclined to believe the old saying: "don't assume conspiracy, when simple incompetence can explain it."
Accepting that the Bank of China were informed of the Hamas link for the money they were transferring: but did that get through to the right people? In time? In clear enough a manner (remember it's called "Chinese whispers"!) Their systems are antediluvian, I assure you.
