2 al-Qaeda recruiters busted in Florida
Two men were charged Thursday with providing financial support to terrorists and recruiting members for terror groups around the globe. A 10-count grand jury indictment handed up in Miami charges Adgan Amin Hassoun and Mohamed Hesham Youssef with providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to provide support. Hassoun has been in custody on other charges in Florida since June 2003 and Youssef is jailed in Egypt. The indictment contends that Hassoun helped recruit individuals from the United States for groups engaging in Islamic "jihad," or holy war, in several countries.
I think they meant that these men were funneling money to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization; that's Sami al-Arian's popsicle stand.
Although he is not named in the indictment, two federal law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity identified one such individual as Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen and alleged al Qaeda member accused of plotting attacks in the United States. Padilla is being held in the United States as an enemy combatant.
