Palestinians in Texas Charged with Aiding Hamas
(Reuters) On Monday the trial opened of five Palestinian brothers in Texas who prosecutors say aided the militant Palestinian group Hamas and illegally sold computer equipment to Syria and Libya, nations the U.S. considers supporters of terrorism. Prosecutors are preparing a second trial of the Elashi brothers as well, alleging that they sent money to Hamas or to senior Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzook. U.S. attorneys said the brothers are also linked to a Muslim charity called the Holy Land Foundation, which was shut down by the U.S. government three months after 9/11, saying it was being used to send money to terrorists.
