His daughters, who live in New York City, said they hoped U.S. prosecutors "revive a federal indictment against Abbas for piracy, hostage-taking and conspiracy."

This came up on another thread this morning. I hate to break this to the daughters, but I don't think the U.S. has any jurisdiction to prosecute this guy.

Disagree. This is exactly the case for which we established the secret terror tribunals.

Justice will be done. And not in some soft Italian prison.
