AP is reporting that a 42-count federal indictment charges a Muslim charity and seven men with conspiracy and dealing with terrorists.
UPDATE: The indictment charges the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the largest Muslim charity in the US, with conspiracy, providing support to a foreign terrorist organization, conspiracy to deal in the property of a terrorist, dealing in the property of a specially designated terrorist, money laundering, conspiracy to impede an investigation by the IRS, and filing false tax returns. The charity's former chief executive is among the men charged. A press conference by Attorney General John Ashcroft and senior FBI officials is planned for later Tuesday. The Anti-Defamation League has background on investigations into the charity's activities.
