This document is page 808 from 349 Federal Supplement, 2d Series, bearing a House Oversight file stamp. It details legal precedents regarding the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), specifically focusing on establishing jurisdiction over state sponsors of terrorism (Libya and Iraq) for acts such as the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing and torture in Kuwait. It cites cases including Rein, Daliberti, and Pugh to argue that foreign states and officials, including Muammar Qadhafi, can be sued in the U.S. for terrorist acts aimed at U.S. nationals.
