Pair Attacked by Tiger File Claim
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Two brothers who were attacked by an escaped tiger at the San Francisco Zoo have filed claims against the city alleging negligence and defamation.

Attorney Mark Geragos submitted papers on behalf of Kulbir (kool- 'BEER) and Paul Dhaliwal (DAW'-lee-wahl) seeking monetary compensation for "serious physical and emotional injuries" this week. The claims are a prerequisite for filing a civil lawsuit.
The documents allege the city and the San Francisco Zoological Society failed in their duty to provide a safe zoo environment, defamed the brothers by spreading lies about their possible role in provoking the attack and improperly impounded Kulbir Dhaliwal's car.
