   A man who was seriously injured by Palestinian terrorists [1]sued and
   won his case.

   The losing side was represented by our local devil's advocate, Ramsey
   Clark.

     According to court documents, Saperstein was attacked by gunmen who
     sprayed his car with AK47 rounds, wounding him in the hand.

     An Israeli citizen traveling in a separate car, lawyer Ahuva
     Amergi, died in the attack, as did two Israeli soldiers who
     responded to the gunfire.

     "Justice is served," said Saperstein's wife, Rachel Saperstein.
     "Now, the fight begins."

     The Sapersteins' attorney, Robert Josefsberg, said he will work to
     identify potential Palestinian assets in the United States, Israel
     and elsewhere to satisfy the judgment.

     "We're going to just look at every possibility," Josefsberg said.

     Lawyers for the Palestinian organizations did contest the lawsuit
     on procedural grounds - including a claim that the Palestinian
     Authority and PLO were immune as a sovereign state - but withdrew
     after losing those rounds, leading to the default judgment.

     One of those lawyers was former Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
     Attempts to reach Clark and his partner, Lawrence W. Schilling, by
     telephone Wednesday were not successful.

     A PLO spokesman in Washington, Nabil Abuznaid, said there are about
     10 other similar lawsuits pending in the United States. Abuznaid
     said the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a war that
     should not be fought in American courtrooms.

     "It's unfair and unfortunate. These are political situations and
     they should not come with judgments like that. These are situations
     outside this country in a war," said Abuznaid, deputy chief of the
     PLO mission in Washington.

   It's unfair and unfortunate that Palestinians choose to fight their
   war in bakeries groceries and ice cream shops. Taking terrorists'
   profits is the least anyone can do.
