Title: The bus on Jaffa Road
Description: In 1996, on an ordinary Sunday in Israel, two young Americans flagged down a bus and got on. After a suicide bomber got on and pushed the botton in his duffel bag, his bomb exploded, killing the two Americans and 24 others. As grieving families discover that Iran had financed the bombing, they filed a lawsuit against Iran and won a judgment against Iranian assests. The families have not given up in their search for justice.
