Iraq & Afghan War Fund Provides Compensation for U.S. Veterans Injured by IEDs, EFPs, Roadside Bombs

Veterans’ rights attorneys fight for victims of Iran-financed attacks

When the United States took the lead in the war against international terror, we anticipated that rogue nations would band together. But what shocked the conscience of the civilized world was the willingness of reputable financial institutions to carry out criminal conspiracies to aid the enemy. Several foreign banks violated U.S. and international law by giving Iran, a designated state sponsor of terrorism, access to billions of dollars in a complex money-laundering scheme. Now, these banks are being held accountable to U.S. service members who were injured by Iranian activities in Afghanistan, Iraq and other theaters of the war in the Middle East.

What is the Iraq & Afghan War Fund?

The Iraq & Afghan War Fund is a compensation pool created by several banks that have either pled guilty to criminal charges or have reached a settlement for deferred prosecution. These banks, and their sanctions, include:

• Barclays Plc
• BNP Paribas S.A.
• Commerzbank AG
• Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited
• HSBC Holdings Plc
• Standard Chartered Plc

A portion of each settlement is being set aside to compensate victims of Iranian-backed terrorism and their families.

U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act gives certain veterans and families the right to sue

Under provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act, victims of terrorism may sue “any person who aids and abets, by knowingly providing substantial assistance, or who conspires with the person who committed such an act of international terrorism.” The banks provided substantial assistance to Iran’s terrorist activities. Therefore, U.S. service members injured by Iranian instruments of terror and families of service members can sue the banks for compensation.

To receive compensation from the Iraq & Afghan War Fund, plaintiffs must receive a verdict in federal court in Washington, D.C., and they must act quickly while the funds last. There is no guarantee that more money will be added to the Iraq & Afghan War Fund in the future.
