Members of the United Muslim Mosque predicted their president's
name would be cleared after his home was raided by FBI agents this week
as part of a terrorism funding probe. Majeed Sharif's home in
Wolcott was raided Wednesday by FBI agents investigating a Sudanese
charity, Islamic African Relief Agency, accused of supporting Osama bin
Ladin and other terrorists. Magdy Galal, the mosque's vice
president, told reporters Friday that the Sharif's efforts were
humanitarian. He said the mosque had distributed the charity's
literature and took donations for it. If the charity had any ties to
terrorism, neither Sharif nor the Waterbury Muslim community was aware
of it, he said. [more ]
