Belgium Court Throws Out Bush War Crimes Case

BRUSSELS -- A Belgian court Wednesday threw out a case against President Bush for war crimes in Iraq in a saga that had strained relations between Belgium and the United States. The appeals court in Brussels also dismissed cases against Israeli Prime Minister Arial Sharon and Israeli General Amos Yaron on grounds that the country's courts did not have the jurisdiction to bring them to trial, according to a court clerk.
