"Defendants include the Taliban, al-Qaida, nations of Iraq and Iran, terror suspects Zacarias Moussaoui and Richard Reid, a Somali relief group, two Minneapolis money wire services and a Bahamian bank. The suit claims defendants supported terrorism designed to harm plaintiffs."

"In the Brown County suit, plaintiffs will have to establish why they are entitled to damages as victims and why state court  and not federal court  is the proper jurisdiction, Schneider said."

The hypocrisy about frivolous lawsuits and wasting taxpayer money abounds.
