U.S. authorities raid offices of an Islamic charity in November 2001
CHICAGO, April 30 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - U.S. officials arrested the head of a Muslim charity here Tuesday on perjury charges, and accused him of having links with Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network stretching back 10 years.
Members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Enaam Arnauot, the 39-year-old executive director of Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), at his home in suburban Chicago early Tuesday.
The Syrian-born U.S. citizen is expected to appear in U.S. district court here later Tuesday on charges that he lied in federal court documents about links to “international terrorism,” the local states attorney's office said in a statement.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said, "The complaint alleges Benevolence International Foundation was supporting violence secretly."
Arnauot and the charity he heads, have been trying to overturn a U.S. Treasury Department order freezing the organization’s assets and records.
The Palos Heights, Illinois, charity was one of several U.S.-based Muslim charities shut down by U.S. officials last year in a crackdown on charitable organizations thought to be funneling money to regimes the U.S. considers “terrorist.”
The foundation insists it has nothing to do with “terrorism.”
But in seeking to challenge U.S. authorities, local prosecutors allege Arnaout made false statements about BIF's activities, claiming it had clean hands when in fact it was supplying logistical and financial support to al-Qaeda.
In a raid of a Bosnian Benevolence International on March 19, photographs, dating back to the 1980s of bin Laden in Afghanistan, as well photos of Arnaout holding several weapons were found.
U.S. government informants said Arnaout at one time handled money for bin Laden. Another government witness cooperating with the FBI said the organization was used in the early 1990s by bin Laden to transfer money to bank accounts of relief organizations that also supplied funds to other organizations.
The charges include allegations that BIF associated with a man who allegedly tried to acquire nuclear weapons for bin Laden.
The FBI asserts that the foundation sponsored Mamdouh Salim, a bin Laden associate, for a trip to Bosnia. Salim, the affidavit says, had at one time attempted to get nuclear and chemical weapons for the al-Qaeda organization, reports news agencies.
An FBI affidavit said that the organization was, according to documents seized in Bosnia, founded by a wealthy Saudi sheik, Adil Abdul Galil Betargy, a bin Laden associate.
Seems he was planted here 10 years ago...1991 to 1993. He was being run by Iraqi Intel based at the UN..
