Claim Types
Outcome
The Fifth Circuit affirmed summary judgment for Alcolac on all remaining claims. The court held that the JASTA claim failed because plaintiffs' injuries occurred 'by reason of an act of war' (the Gulf War), which is barred by statute. The civil conspiracy claim failed because plaintiffs did not demonstrate that Alcolac committed an actionable tort in furtherance of the alleged conspiracy.
