A federal grand jury in New York has handed up a sealed indictment against exiled Saudi multimillionaire Osama bin Laden for terrorist acts against the United States that preceded his suspected involvement in twin bombings at U.S. embassies in Africa earlier this month, senior U.S. officials said yesterday.

The officials would only confirm the existence of the indictment, refusing to specify when it was handed up or what alleged crimes it covered. An indictment would provide the grounds for bin Laden's capture and removal to the United States to stand trial, and could be used to help persuade foreign governments to deny him protection from arrest.

Notice in this 1998 article about the original indictment of Bin Laden he was accused of funneling money to Muslim groups in Detroit, Jersey City, and Brooklyn. Does anyone recall which groups these were and if they are still active?

We have been hearing incessantly from every Muslim group in America that they distance themselves from Bin Laden. Then who made up these groups? They all vanished? The groups no longer exist?

I don't know about the others but I'm pretty sure the Democrat National Committe and the Democratic Socialists of America are still in the business of destroying business, no doubt they took their cut of blood-money. The rest is jangling around in Bill Clinton's pocket.

I should have posted this at a peak traffic time. I really would love to hear the answers. Muslims on the media are falling all over themselves crying with us. But some groups in Jersey City, Detroit, and Brooklyn got help and they have to be identified. Who belongs to the groups? Are they still in the country?

I came to this story because someone on the radio kept reminding us that Bin Laden already was under indictment and that we did little to apprehend him. Nothing more than pro forma protest to Pakistan and Afghanis. The US citizen connection in the indictment leapt out to me.

This was the 1998 indictment, I should have made that plainer. But no, he didn't really sweat it then.

Take a look at this article. Is there a way that we can find out who those folks were? I couldn't find an article in a web search specifically mentioning the Americans by name. Does anyone know folks who would have this info?
