Holy Land Foundation Leaders Convicted In Their Retrial

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yesterday, according to the New York Times, federal prosecutors in Dallas, Texas obtained convictions against five leaders of a Muslim charity for funneling donations to the terrorist group Hamas. Last October, a mistrial on most charges occurred in the trial of leaders of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. (See prior posting.) But on this retrial, the jury found the defendants guilty on 108 counts of supporting terrorism, money laundering and tax fraud. Defendants plan an appeal. Before the U.S. closed it down in 2001, the Holy Land Foundation was the largest Islamic charity in the United States.
