Five of Iran's former diplomatic properties in Washington, D.C., can't be used to satisfy a $12 million civil judgment owed to the family of a woman killed in an Israeli terrorist attack, a federal appeals court said on Friday. A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit said the U.S. has a treaty obligation to "respect and protect" the properties, which include Iran's former embassy and ambassador's residence. Marla Ann Bennett was a student at Hebrew University in Jerusalem when she was killed in a bombing, for which Iran-funded Hamas took credit.
