Israeli's Sue Over Being Jailed on 9/11
Four young Israeli men arrested as terror suspects on the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 11, 2001, have filed a multimillion-dollar suit against the Justice Department. The plaintiffs - ages 22 to 26 - say they were held for two months without access to lawyers or family at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where they were roughly interrogated, assaulted, deprived of sleep and subjected to racist taunts from guards. The suit alleges civil rights violations. The Israelis were working for a New Jersey moving company when their truck was stopped by cops near the bridge hours after terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center. When cops found the men had foreign driver's licenses, they were arrested. Authorities were apparently concerned about any attempt to blow up the bridge. The four were eventually cleared and released. [more
