Cops probe Hilaly al-Qaeda link
2007-04-06
ISLAMIC community leaders at Lakemba mosque are being interviewed by the federal police about mufti Sheik Taj al-Dene Elhilaly's decision to hand charity funds to supporters of al-Qaeda and Hezbollah terrorist outfits in Lebanon.

Officers have seized documents from the Lebanese Muslim Association, which backs Sheik Hilaly, and interviewed its president Tom Zreika. Islamic Friendship Association spokesman Keyser Trad, who is in Lebanon, has also been contacted by police.

The LMA raised $70,000 in conjunction with other Islamic bodies following the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon. The money was meant for widows needing ammunition war victims but LMA documents, in Sheik Hilaly's handwriting, state he gave $13,000 to political party leader and alleged supporter of the Iraqi insurgency and al-Qaeda Sheik Bilal Shaaban.

The Weekend Australian reports Sheik Hilaly, who is overseas, and LMA employee Sheik Yihya Safi will be asked by the AFP to provide a detailed outline of how they distributed the Australian-raised funds in Lebanon. It has been claimed that Sheik Elhilaly met with the leader of Hezbollah's terrorist wing, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah.

#6  Unless they convict and imprison him, Zenster, then deport him and his entire family. Or convict and deport, skipping imprisonment -- whichever is more appropriate.

#5  You just knew this vile loudmouth slimeball was going to come up dirty. If Australia let's this maggot back in, they may as well roll over and surrender.
