Conservative Group Sues Iraqi Leaders

WASHINGTON -- A conservative political group opened a new front Thursday against Iraqi leaders -- in court.

Judicial Watch served a subpoena for testimony and documents on Mohammed Al-Douri, who serves as Saddam Hussein's ambassador to the United Nations.

Judicial Watch and attorneys from Oklahoma City are suing Iraq on behalf of the victims of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the federal building that killed more than 160 people.

The lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., alleges that Iraq sponsored the bombing in which white supremacist Timothy McVeigh and former Army buddy Terry Nichols were convicted. McVeigh was executed. Nichols is serving a life sentence.

Judicial Watch said it believes the Iraqi ambassador has information concerning the Oklahoma City bombing and the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York.

The lawsuit seeks a financial judgment by a federal judge against Iraq under the provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996.
