***Operation Iraqi Freedom***
Situation Room - Day 84
BRUSSELS, Belgium - A Belgian court ruled on Tuesday that a case against an Israeli general for alleged crimes against humanity could proceed.
A Brussels court decided that an appeal by a group of Palestinians to try former Israeli army commander Amos Yaron over a 1982 massacre in Lebanese refugee camps was admissible.
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court threw out a similar appeal to try Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) even though it left the door open for a new investigation to be opened once Sharon leaves office and loses diplomatic immunity.
