it of being a financial arm of terrorism was charged Tuesday with
conspiracy, dealing with terrorists and money laundering. The Holy Land

chairman and five other men were named in the 42-count federal
indictment unsealed Tuesday. The indictment alleges conspiracy,

deal in the property of a terrorist and dealing in the property of a
specially designated terrorist. It charges that Holy Land provided
financial aid to the militant group Hamas as far back as 1988. [more]
