Question: If the US of A can indict Iraqis for killing American soldiers, can Iraqis equally sue the USA for killing Iraqi civilians and militants, considering that the Iraq war was illegal?
An Iraqi-Canadian man, Sayfildin Tahir-Sharif, was arrested this week at the request of the US of A.
“He is accused of conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals and providing material support to terrorists, including Tunisian suicide bombers who killed American soldiers in Iraq.”According to what has been disclosed by the RCMP and the FBI joint terrorism task force, Tahir-Sharif is not accused of having killed US citizens himself.
Contrast this with the treatment of Luis Posada Carriles, a CIA-trained terrorist. He was arrested by the Venezuelan authorities along with three other co-conspirators for the October 6, 1976 bombing of Cubana Airlines flight 455, killing 72 civilians on board.
He also “admitted to organising a series of hotel bombings in Cuba” in 1998.

Food for thought?
