 nation's largest plaintiffs' litigation firms, today announced that attorney

 the Middle East when he was present in Israel during multiple suicide bombings
 against the Israeli civilian population.  After graduation from Georgetown
 University, he pursued this interest in counterterrorism as a researcher with
 the Washington, DC-based think tank, The Investigative Project.  He served as
 a liaison on various terrorism financing investigations pertaining to Hamas
 and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad with the Federal Bureau of Investigation
 (FBI), the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and U.S.

 litigation pertaining to the financing of terrorism that resulted in the
 murder of an American citizen.

 Washington, DC, where he was integrally involved in civil litigation against
 various groups within the United States who provided material support or
 resources to the Hamas terrorist organization.  Eubanks earned a Bachelor of
 Science degree in Foreign Service and spent a semester abroad at The Hebrew
 University of Jerusalem.  Eubanks earned a JD from Georgetown University Law
 Center and was admitted to the Maryland State Bar in January of 2004.
     Eubanks has published numerous articles on counterterrorism and security
 and was a major contributor to a full-length non-fiction work entitled
