CNEWS.CANOE.ca (AP): Chicago. "PROSECUTOR ALLEGES HEAD OF MUSLIM CHARITY TRIED TO GET URANIUM FOR AL QAIDA" (ARTICLE SNIPPETS: "Prosecutors say Mohamed Loay Bayazid was president of the suburban Chicago-based Benevolence International Foundation in 1994, about the same time he is accused of trying to get uranium for al-Qaida. They also said the UBS financial services company and computer giants Microsoft and Compaq donated thousands of dollars to the foundation through an employee gift-matching program." ...
"The government had previously linked Bayazid to the charity, saying he had an Illinois driver's licence listing Benevolence headquarters in Palos Hills as his home address.
In the new filing, prosecutors cited internal Benevolence documents that allegedly show Bayazid was the charity's president. The document quoted minutes of a Benevolence meeting in 1994 stating that Bayazid ran the meeting." ...
"Public filings with Illinois authorities don't list Bayazid as a charity official.
Bayazid allegedly tried to obtain uranium for a nuclear weapon for bin Laden in 1993 or 1994 in Sudan, according to information that came out of a trial in New York City relating to the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in East Africa.
Bayazid, also known as Abu Rida al Suri, is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Syria. His current whereabouts are unknown.") (January 30, 2003)
