March 26 (UPI) -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday tossed a $314.7 million judgment against Sudan in favor of U.S. sailors injured in the 2000 attack on the USS Cole, saying the Americans lodged the lawsuit incorrectly.
The high court voted 8-1 against the plaintiffs in the suit, saying they should have sent a copy of the lawsuit to the Sudan Ministry of Foreign Affairs instead of the Sudan Embassy in Washington, D.C.
