En banc D.C. Circuit to reconsider dismissal of the claims of a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant that the United States destroyed via a missle strike because the plant was allegedly connected to the terrorist activities of Osama bin Laden

En banc D.C. Circuit to reconsider dismissal of the claims of a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant that the United States destroyed via a missle strike because the plant was allegedly connected to the terrorist activities of Osama bin Laden: In March 2009, a three-judge panel affirmed the dismissal of the pharmaceutical plant's claims against the United States, holding that the claims presented a nonjusticiable political question. My earlier coverage of that ruling appears at this link.

Yesterday, the D.C. Circuit entered this order granting rehearing en banc.

At his "Suits & Sentences" blog, Michael Doyle of McClatchy Newspapers has this post about yesterday's development.

And at "The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times," Mike Scarcella has a post titled "Court Orders En Banc Hearing in Defamation Suit Against the U.S."
