In Bennett v. Islamic Repub. of Iran, No. 09-5147, proceedings arising from a deadly bombing in Jerusalem, wherein plaintiffs sought to satisfy a default judgment against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian Ministry of Information and Security, the court affirmed the district court’s order quashing writs of attachment against five of Iran’s former diplomatic properties located in the District of Columbia, holding that section 201 of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act precluded the attachments.
