1 As we acknowledged recently in Price v. Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, 294 F. 3d 82, 87 (D. C. Cir. 2002), the Flatow Amendment does not list “foreign states” among the parties against whom an action may be brought. Libya, recognizing this, argues that Simpson's complaint should be dismissed because the Flatow Amendment does not create a federal cause of action against foreign states. However, Libya concedes that it failed to raise this issue in the District Court, so we do not pass on this issue here *Elisabeth C.
