WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear an unusual case in which Congress intervened to help victims of terrorism sue Palestinian entities. Other plaintiffs involved in the litigation had previously won a $655 million judgment that the lower court threw out. One condition is that the defendants paid a terrorist convicted of or killed while committing a terrorist attack. The PLO represents the Palestinian people internationally, while the PA exercises domestic government authority. The victims of terrorist attacks filed a separate petition.
