Six hundred people died – their bodies left to rot until volunteers buried the corpses two months later. The suit filed against Thomas on Monday in federal court in Philadelphia is unusual in several respects. Thomas, the lawsuit alleges, stopped by the church compound in the days before the attack to pledge he would protect those hiding inside. Yet even before Monday’s lawsuit was filed, he had begun to fear that his time in the U.S. was coming to an end. Despite those grim prospects, Thomas said Monday, he is committed to staying in Pennsylvania to fight the allegations filed against him in court.
