reports.

politicians quoted in the report say there are several hurdles regarding compensation for victims of terror, including from the September 11 attacks. Lawmakers have also raised hackles over another part of the deal negotiated by the State Department, which regards compensation for attacks on US embassies in East Africa in 1998.
