Lawsuit alleging Bank of China laundered terrorists' money moves forward

The Bank of China knowingly laundered money for various Islamic militant groups so they could get around transaction restrictions because of their label as a "terrorist organization" by the U.S. government, a lawsuit by Israeli victims of suicide bombings claims.

Fox News has learned that Israeli intelligence officials warned the Chinese government that Iran was using Bank of China to finance its militant networks, including providing account numbers and transaction details, only to have the Chinese turn a blind eye as the money went to make bombs that would kill dozens of civilians.

Anyone know anything about the “rumored” coup taking place in China?

Drudge has had a snippet on it. An associate in Shanghai can say nothing, but in-country communications has been slow and dinterrupted over the past few days.

Don't expect the Washington Post to be reporting on this anytime soon, as they now run a weekly CCP-sponsored supplement giving Americans all the Chinese news the CCP deems fit to print.
