SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF AND NEWS SERVICES
The parents of a 23-year-old Olympia woman who was run over and killed by an Israeli army bulldozer while protesting against the destruction of Palestinian homes filed suit yesterday in U.S. District Court against the manufacturer of the bulldozer that killed her.
The suit against Caterpillar Inc. alleges that the company "violated international and state law by providing specially designed bulldozers to Israeli Defense Forces that it knew would be used to demolish homes and endanger civilians," according to a news release.
A suit was also to be filed in Israel yesterday against Israel, the Israeli Defense Ministry and the Israeli Defense Forces.
Rachel Corrie, who was a student at The Evergreen State College, was killed two years ago today.
