Alisa Flatow: Victim of terrorist Judge Royce bomb. Lamberth acknowledged strong diplomatic considerations in his decision to tem- porarily block the sale of buildings seized from Iran after the 1979 Islamic revolution and the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Teheran. Earlier this year, Judge Lamberth ruled in favor of the Flatow family, who took advantage of a law passed after their daughter's murder that allows individuals to sue foreign gov- ernments that support terrorist groups. Islamic Jihad, an Iranian- backed group, claimed credit for the blast that killed Alisa Flatow. Last week, he ruled that the . Flatows could begin the process of attaching Iranian property in Washington to settle the claim. But then the administration stepped in, arguing that seizure would violate international agreements dealing with diplomatic property. Steven Perles, the attorney for the Flatow family, had no complaints about the judge's temporary order. "The stay is not a big deal," he said in an interview. "It's something they have to do as an accommodation to the government." But he was outraged by the admin- istration's role. "The real issue here is their decision to enter the case; they're not there helping the Flatows, they're on record supporting the Iranians' claims. That particularly disturbs the family." Earlier, administration officials refused to help the family locate frozen Iranian property in the capital. "So we went out, using computer data bases, and found three parcels of land in D.C.," Perles said. "We moved to attach that property, and the judge approved. Then the State Department entered the case." The administrative stay will last for 10 days, he said; after that, the gov- ernment will make its case and the Flatows' lawyers will respond. Judge Lamberth also is expected to hold a hearing on the issue. But Perles said that representatives of the family are already lobbying Congress for a legislative remedy. "We're working with the Cuban- American community, which has an analogous problem with blocked Cuban assets. Senator [Frank] Lautenberg, D-N.Y., and Senator [Connie] Mack, R-Fla., are working with the Appropriations Committee to see if a rider can be put on the Treasury Appropriations Bill that will deal with this." Two-Sided Peace Two interesting groups breezed through Washington this week. Four young Likud leaders and four Palestinian counterparts representing the Fatah wing of the Palestine Liberation Organization met with leg- islators and administration officials as part of an ongoing dialogue that began last year in Cyprus and contin- ued in Israel and the West Bank. They had a succinct message for officials here: don't give up on the quest for peace in the region. The group, sponsored by the American Council of Young Political Leaders, leaves on Thursday for visits to Chicago, Boston and New York. "These are people who are doing this at great personal and political risk," said Jay Foodik, a former White House offi- cial who serves on the group's board. "There were intense efforts by Fatah Youth to marginalize participants, and the new chairman of Young Likud refused to send delegates. There was intense activity by those who did not want this to take place, and that tells me it's having an impact." Also this week: the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism hosted some 100 young marchers in town for the Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage, which marks the con- nection between slavery and today's racial crisis. Participants are walking down the East Coast; later, they will travel by boat to the Caribbean, Brazil and Africa. On Wednesday, they stopped for lunch at the RAC on Massachusetts Avenue. "We feel it's important for partici- pants to understand the role the Jewish community has played — and continues to play — in the civil rights struggle," said RAC associate director Mark Pelavin.
