 DEVELOPING: In one of the most bizarre moments, the three 9/11 conspirators who are acting as their own attorneys refused to come to court Monday, FOX News has learned. The prosecution says the men should be forced to attend, even forcibly extracted from their cells, but the judge declined to do so. A military judge agreed Monday to another delay in the war crimes trial of five Guantanamo prisoners charged in the Sept. 11 attacks. Army Col. Stephen Henley agreed to the U.S. government's request for a 60-day continuance, a delay intended to give President Barack Obama's administration enough time to decide whether it should move the case to a civilian court or a revamped war crimes tribunal. Henley had scheduled a hearing at the U.S. base in Cuba to allow Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants — all three of whom are serving as their own lawyers — to voice any objections to the Obama's administration's third continuance in their case. But Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks, and the other defendants sent a note to the judge saying they did not oppose the delay, and Henley granted a written order without a hearing. Mohammed was still expected to address the court later on a series of legal motions from the three defendants, including a request to dismiss lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union assigned to help with their case. The two other Sept. 11 defendants have not yet been ruled mentally competent to act as their own lawyers and were expected to be excluded from the hearing. The chief prosecutor, Navy Capt. John F. Murphy, said a decision on where to try Mohammed and four others charged in the Sept. 11 attacks will be made by Nov. 16. Even if the case remains in the hands of the military it would have to be moved from Guantanamo if Obama keeps his pledge to close the detention center at the U.S. base in Cuba in January. The U.S. holds about 225 prisoners at Guantanamo. Murphy said about 65 are "viable" cases for prosecution. Military prosecutors are ready to try the cases, but four U.S. attorneys’ offices in New York and the Washington DC area are reviewing the files for possible federal civilian trials, he said. Mohammed has made nine appearances before the war crimes court. He has proudly proclaimed his role in the attacks and call for the dismissal of the lawyers appointed by the court to assist with his defense. Mohammed, captured by U.S. authorities in Pakistan in 2003, has said he wants to be executed by the United States to achieve martyrdom. Declassified 2004 CIA documents, released Aug. 24 by the Obama administration, detailed some of the treatment that Mohammed and other terrorism suspects underwent as part of a harsh regime of interrogation. Among other things, interrogators him that "if anything else happens in the United States, 'We're going to kill your children,"' and continuously poured large volumes of water on a cloth covering his mouth — the practice known as waterboarding. Previous documents revealed that he was waterboarded 183 times. Fox News' Catherine Herridge and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Source: FoxNews 
 By Robert Spencer In a major blow to terrorism financing on American soil, the founders of the Holy Land Foundation, once the nation’s largest Muslim charity, were both sentenced this week to sixty-five years in prison for funneling at least $12.4 million in charitable contributions to the terrorist group Hamas. The decision, which can still be challenged by appeal, also has important implications for the nation’s most prominent Islamic organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, as well as for American Muslims in general. The HLF founders, Shukri Abu Baker and Ghassan Elashi, were convicted in November 2008 of aiding a terrorist organization by sending money to Hamas. The two were also convicted of tax fraud and money laundering. Nevertheless, the defendants maintained that the HLF was really a charity organization. So far from funding terrorism, they were distributing urgent financial aid to needy individuals and orphans in the West Bank and Gaza – a claim that reprised the now-defunct HLF’s purported mission of aiding “human suffering through humanitarian programs that impact the lives of the disadvantaged.” This week’s sentencing was the strongest rejection to date of the HLF defendants’ “humanitarian” cover story. As David Kris, assistant attorney general for national security, put it, “These sentences should serve as a strong warning to anyone who knowingly provides financial support to terrorists under the guise of humanitarian relief.” Read more ...Source: FrontPage Magazine
 DALLAS - A federal judge imposed what could amount to life sentences on three former leaders of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) on Wednesday for illegally routing more than $12 million to Hamas. "The purpose of creating the Holy Land Foundation was as a fundraising arm for Hamas," said U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis. He sentenced former HLF Chief Executive Officer Shukri Abu Baker and co-founder Ghassan Elashi to 65 years in prison. Longtime HLF chairman Mohamed El-Mezain, who was convicted only on one count of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists, received the maximum 15-year sentence. All three men are at least 50 years old. Another defendant, Mufid Abdelqader, 49, was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The sentencing of HLF's New Jersey Office Director, Abdelrahman Odeh, still remains. While appeals are being prepared, the sentencing hearings end the largest terror financing case in the United States, one which closed the largest Muslim-American charity in 2001. Its significance, however, resonates far beyond the Dallas courtroom and the five men convicted by a jury last November. Read more ...Source: IPT News
 ALEXANDRIA, VA - A federal judge on Friday cleared the way for Sami Al-Arian to stand trial for criminal contempt, ruling there is an "insufficient legal basis" for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad supporter's claim of selective government prosecution. U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema set a March 9 jury trial date for Al-Arian. The former University of South Florida professor was indicted for criminal contempt last June for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating terrorism financing in Virginia. Al-Arian argues that a 2006 plea agreement he reached with prosecutors in Florida gives him the right to refuse to testify. But that argument was rejected by district court judges in Florida, where the plea was entered, and in Virginia. In addition, the 4th and 11th circuit courts of appeals denied his argument. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to consider the case in October. "I don't read that plea agreement to have barred this prosecution," Brinkema said Friday. Brinkema also rejected Al-Arian's argument that prosecutors acted with malice and from an anti-Muslim bias in pursuing the contempt charges. However, in a set-back to the government, she said she would allow Al-Arian to argue to the jury that he was following his lawyers' advice in believing the plea deal absolved him of testifying despite the court orders.

 The Department of Homeland Security has appealed a judge's order granting permanent residency to a New Jersey imam with ties to Hamas. Mohammad Qatanani's failure to report a 1993 arrest and detention by Israeli officials when he applied for his green card is at the heart of the government appeal, the Hackensack Record reports.
Qatanani denies having Hamas links and said that, while he was detained by Israel, he did not include the information on his application because he was not convicted of a crime. A federal judge sided with him last September.
Qatanani had widespread support in New Jersey, despite a record of condemning Christians to eternal hellfire and his attendance at numerous radical conferences in the United States. For example, Qatanani spoke at the 1999 Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) conference in Chicago. The IAP served as a Hamas propaganda arm in the United States and was part of a secret Muslim Brotherhood committee assembled to help Hamas politically and financially.
The appeal is before the Board of Immigration Appeals. Source: IPT Blog
 By Robert Spencer According to a recent survey, fewer Americans believe terrorism is a threat now than at any time since September 10, 2001. But if five Muslim men in New Jersey had had their way, this threat might loom larger in the public mind today. These men face life in prison after being convicted Monday of plotting to enter the U.S. Army base in Fort Dix, New Jersey and murder as many soldiers as they could. This was a jihad plot. Three of the men convicted -- brothers Dritan, Shain and Eljvir Duka -- are illegal aliens from the former Yugoslavia. One of the plotters, Serdar Tatar, told an FBI informant late in 2006: “I’m gonna do it….It doesn’t matter to me, whether I get locked up, arrested, or get taken away, it doesn’t matter. Or I die, doesn’t matter, I’m doing it in the name of Allah.” Another plotter, Mohamad Shnewer (the only American citizen among the convicted men), was caught on tape saying, “They are the ones, we are going to put bullets in their heads, Allah willing.” Read more ...Source: Human Events
 Dennis Hale, President of Citizens for Peace and Tolerance, called today for a public investigation of the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s sale of land to the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) for the construction of New England’s largest mosque. Hale noted that officers of the largest Muslim charity in America, The Holy Land Foundation (HLF), convicted in Texas last week of funding Middle East terrorism, have ties to the ISB and its close affiliate, the Muslim American Society. “The convictions in Texas are a victory in the government’s efforts to prevent charities from being used to support terrorism,” said Hale. The Holy Land Foundation and five of its organizers were convicted for sending more than $12 million to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. “It is shocking to discover the ties between the HLF and the leadership of the Islamic Society of Boston,” said Hale. Hale enumerated the ties: * “Hossam Al Jabri, President of the Muslim American Society’s Boston branch (MAS Boston), which now controls the ISB Cultural Center, personally donated money to the HLF while they were sending funds to Hamas,” Hale said. “And the Islamic Society of Boston as an organization sent thousands of dollars to the HLF as well.”
* “Jamal Badawi, an ISB Trustee, was a frequent speaker at HLF fundraising events, and was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF prosecution.”
* “Osama Kandil, the ISB Board Chairman, founded the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA), which provided venues for HLF fundraising events where Hamas members made explicit calls to murder Israelis.” For its role in Hamas fundraising, MAYA was also listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial. “Now,” Hale continued, “the mosque, which was built by the Islamic Society of Boston, has been taken over by the Muslim American Society (MAS). MAS was founded by top Muslim Brotherhood leaders and states that it is guided by Muslim Brotherhood ideology. The Brotherhood inspires and provides the justification for the anti-West Jihad.” Hale cited a document from the HLF investigation, which describes the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal in America as a “Grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western Civilization from within.” Hale noted that “this same document praises the contribution of ISB Trustee Jamal Badawi to the Muslim Brotherhood’s efforts.” “And finally,” Hale said, “the Boston Phoenix published last week an expose, ‘Menino’s Mosque,’ which shows that the BRA did not perform due diligence when it approved the sale to the ISB of public property at a steep discount for the construction of a mosque financed mostly by Saudi Arabia. The Mayor intended to help a group of local African American Muslims build a house of worship. Instead, he wound up giving the mosque to a group controlled and financed by the Saudis,” Hale said. “The BRA role is further complicated,” according to Hale, “by the role of Muhammad Ali-Salaam, an official of the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), who was also an ISB member and fundraiser for the mosque. The BRA recently told a judge that their records on the ISB matter have ‘disappeared.’ Today we call upon the FinCom’s chairman, Paul Minihane, and its Executive Director, Jeff Conley, to initiate a long overdue investigation into the conduct of the BRA.” CPT is an interfaith citizens group. It was sued by the ISB for “defamation” after asking questions about the radical leadership of the ISB in 2004, based on news reports that the founder of the ISB, Abdulrahman Alamoudi, was serving a 23-year prison term for a terrorist conspiracy and fund-raising for Al-Qaeda, and that an original ISB Trustee, Yusuf al Qaradawi, was calling for the wholesale murder of Jews and homosexuals, and is now barred from entering the U.S. Also sued were the Boston Herald, Fox 25, and over a dozen individuals and organizations. The validity of the concerns raised by CPT was vindicated when the ISB dropped its lawsuit in 2007.

 By Joe Kaufman Now that the Holy Land Foundation trial has ended and guilty verdicts have been rendered on all defendants, on all counts, we have the opportunity and the duty to see how those decisions reflect on the other groups and individuals who were involved in the case, specifically on the side of the defense. Besides the six defendants -- all former leaders of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) and HLF itself -- apart from the legal sense of the words, there were a number of others who were being “put on trial” for crimes as well. They were given the label “unindicted co-conspirators,” which means just as it’s written, those involved in a conspiracy who were not indicted (charged) for their role in the conspiracy. A more precise explanation for the term is found in the 2004 Federal Courts Law Review (FCLR) 1, Section II.A.1, which states, “The term ‘unindicted co-conspirator’ refers to any person who allegedly ‘agreed with others to violate the law but who is not being charged with an offense and who, consequently, will not be tried or sentenced for his criminal conduct’… Prosecutors often have enough evidence to indict these individuals, but instead name them as unindicted co-conspirators for a variety of strategic reasons.” With regards to the HLF case, the list of “unindicted co-conspirators” numbers over 300.

 By Steven Emerson Recently, we lightly mocked the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for its quick condemnation of Al-Qaeda No. 2 man Ayman Al-Zawahiri's slur of President-Elect Barack Obama as a "house Negro." Way to take the hard stand, folks. Our point was serious though. If CAIR wants to be accepted as the mainstream Muslim-American civil rights advocacy organization that it claims to be, it must take an unequivocal stand against terror from all actors, including those who kill, and those who enable the killers, in the name of Palestinian liberation. It has never done so. And evidence unveiled at the Hamas-support trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) shows why. CAIR was born of an effort to support Hamas in America – its founders part of the Palestine Committee who agreed in 1993 that a prospective peace deal was bad and who saw the need for a new organization to bring their message, surreptitiously, to Washington. HLF now stands guilty of routing more than $12 million to benefit Hamas through a series of Palestinian charities. As witnesses like Matthew Levitt and Bruce Hoffman testified, that support – even when channeled to humanitarian needs – is crucial in winning popular support for the terrorist group responsible for it.

 The Holy Land Foundation trial unveiled the extent of the financing of terrorism among leading American Islamic organizations.By Patrick Poole The retrial of five officials of the Holy Land Foundation, the largest Islamic charity in the U.S. shut down by the government weeks after 9/11, concluded on November 24 with guilty verdicts on all 108 counts. Federal prosecutors had charged that Holy Land officials had conspired to provide material support to terrorists and served as the fundraising arm of Hamas in the U.S., which raised more than $12 million after Hamas had been designated a terrorist organization in 1995. The implications of these guilty verdicts are staggering in their importance. The most immediate is that federal prosecutors have proved they can win these kinds of complicated terrorism financing cases. Monday’s guilty verdicts are in sharp contrast to the first trial in this case, which ended in October 2007 in a mistrial and victory celebrations by the defendants and their supporters. In response, prosecutors streamlined their case, dropped a number of lesser charges, and prepared new exhibits to help jurors understand the scope of the conspiracy. Read more ...

CAIR, stung by the Holy Land Foundation terror charity verdict, which confirms Awad, Hooper, and Co. in their status as unindicted co-conspirators, says -- predictably enough -- that the case was all about hate and not at all about funding jihad terror. But it is -- predictably enough -- just an assertion, unsubstantiated by any facts. "CAIR Says HLF Verdict Based on ‘Fear-Mongering,’" from CAIR.com, November 26 (thanks to A.): "We believe this case was based more on fear-mongering than on the facts. It is particularly troubling that the government chose to use testimony from an anonymous witness, which deprives the defendants of their full right to confront their accusers. We expect the defendants to appeal this verdict and believe that it will eventually be overturned." Right. No anonymous witnesses. Everyone outed. Hmm. What would be the outcome of that, and who would be the beneficiaries? Source: CAIR H/T: Jihad Watch
The variety of evidence shown to the jury in the Holy Land Foundation trial includes government wiretaps and videos seized during the execution of search warrants at HLF offices and elsewhere. Many of the documents that linked the defendants to Hamas were written in foreign languages and dealt with a turbulent situation half-way around the world. Here in the U.S., one Falls Church, VA man who had never even heard of the Holy Land Foundation until recently, tells us the unusual story of how some of the key pieces of evidence popped up... right in his own backyard.

By Robert Spencer Justice has been served: on Monday, five former officials of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), once the largest Islamic charity in the United States, were found guilty of funneling at least $12 million of the charity’s funds to the jihad terror group Hamas. Shukri Abu-Baker, Ghassan Elashi (founder of the Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations), Mohamed El-Mezain, Mufid Abdulqader, and Abdelrahman Odeh could get sentences of as long as twenty years in prison for providing support to terrorists. This verdict is a huge setback for the Stealth Jihad initiative in the United States, which I chronicle in my book by that name. According to the Federation of American Scientists, “today, a very complex financial network connects the operations of over seventy branches of the Muslim Brothers worldwide. During the Muslim Brothers' seventy-plus years of existence, there have been cycles of growth, followed by divisions into factions, including clandestine financial networks, and violent jihad groups, such as al-Jihad and al-Gama'at al-Islamiyya in Egypt, HAMAS in Palestine and mujahideen groups in Afghanistan.” Read more ...Source: Human EventsShukri Abu-Baker

FORMER Guantanamo Bay inmate David Hicks has broken his silence, saying a court-imposed control order makes it hard for him to get on with his life.
The convicted terrorism supporter says he is very worried that the controversial control order obtained by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to restrict his activities may be extended.
The one-year order, which expires in December, is only the second such order placed on an Australian citizen.
"I'm concerned that the AFP will recommend the attorney-general impose a new control order," Hicks says in a video seen by Australian Associated Press.
The control order was imposed on Hicks after he was freed from jail last December and revised in February.
Under the order, Hicks has to report to police twice a week. He can live anywhere in Australia approved by the AFP, but he is not allowed to leave the country.
He also has to submit to fingerprint testing and is barred from possessing any explosives or firearms or any materials related to weapons, combat skills or military tactics.
The video plea was organised by lobby group GetUp!, which has called for a major review of the 44 counter-terrorism laws introduced after the September 11 terrorism attacks.
"I don't know what the future holds for me. The only thing I do know is that until the control order is lifted, I will not be able to get on with my life,'' Hicks says.
It's almost seven years since the Adelaide man was caught in Afghanistan and sent to the US military base at Guantanamo Bay.
He was imprisoned there for six years, before agreeing to plead guilty to a charge of supporting terrorism in exchange for returning home to serve the remainder of his sentence in South Australia's Yatala prison.
He has received a number of requests to tell his story after the gag order imposed by US military officials expired last March, but he has kept his silence until today.
Hicks says he will tell his full story one day, but he is not ready to do it just yet.
"I'm still recovering from that ordeal. I'm not yet ready to explain what happened or why," Hicks said. Source: The Australian
 DALLAS – They sang praises to a terrorist group, had telephone access to its leadership and deceived the public about their true ambitions, a federal prosecutor said Monday about the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). Five former HLF officials are on trial for illegally routing millions of dollars in donations to Hamas through a series of Palestinian charities, known as zakat committees, that prosecutors say are controlled by the terrorist group. In his closing argument, federal prosecutor Barry Jonas pointed to what he called the "highlights of the highlights" of the government's six-week case. It includes hundreds of exhibits, ranging from wiretapped telephone calls to audio and video conferences to stacks of bank records. But the case likely hinges on whether jurors agree the zakat committees were controlled by Hamas. Jonas pointed to instances in which some committee officials were identified as Hamas members in media interviews and by other Hamas officials. Telephone records in evidence tied in other committee officials. And a former HLF fundraiser testifying for the government said that the zakat committees were a part of Hamas.

 DALLAS – Defense attorneys for five men accused of illegally routing millions of dollars to Hamas rested their case Thursday after hearing from a former diplomat who questioned government claims that a series of Palestinian charities were controlled by the terrorist group. Edward Abington, a former consul general at the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, said he met with members of the charities, known as zakat committees, in Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin, Gaza from 1993-97. Though he was briefed by U.S. government officials, he was never told of any Hamas connection. Abington said his office received "very strict instructions" from the U.S. government that consulate officials were not to have any interaction with Hamas. But "I had no information as consul general that Hamas controlled any zakat committees," he said. There was no official policy restricting communication with the committees. That assertion is at odds with the heart of the government's case – that the men, in running the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) routed millions of dollars to Hamas through the committees. But under cross examination, Abington acknowledged he was unaware of information being gathered by criminal investigators and even the Palestinian Authority. Earlier in the trial, prosecutors presented a former HLF fundraiser who told jurors he was certain his donations to HLF would help Hamas. Read more ...Source: IPT News
 DALLAS - When officials at the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) spoke of jihad, or the need to support Palestinian mujahideen, they weren't necessarily endorsing violence. And when they praised Hamas and brought in leaders of the designated terrorist group to speak at fundraisers, they weren't necessarily providing support. That was the message John Esposito, a Georgetown University professor of Religion and International Affairs and director of the university's Saudi-funded Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding told jurors in HLF's terror support trial Monday. Esposito was called as an expert witness to explain that some of the strident language jurors have heard coming from Holy Land officials may have a different, more benign meaning. The men are accused of illegally providing millions of dollars to Hamas through a series of Palestinian charities. Donating to charity is sacred in Islam, one of the five pillars of the faith, Esposito said. But on cross examination, Esposito either didn't remember or didn't know about documented links between HLF and other groups he has worked with and Hamas. One of those groups is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). When asked by defense attorney Nancy Hollander if he was familiar with CAIR, Esposito described it as a "religious-oriented mainstream group" that worked on issues of discrimination against Muslims. He confirmed he had over a period of time met with senior CAIR officials, including Nihad Awad, Ibrahim Hooper, and "another person based in California in the Bay area." That person, he later said, turned out to be CAIR co-founder and chairman emeritus Omar Ahmad. Read more ...Source: IPT NewsJohn Esposito

By DAVID MCFADDEN GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - It's life in prison for Osama bin Laden's video maker. A jury of U.S. military officers says the Yemeni prisoner must spend the rest of his life behind bars for encouraging terrorist attacks. The jury of nine military officers deliberated for just under an hour before condemning Ali Hamza al-Bahlul at Guantanamo's second war-crimes trial. The jury found al-Bahlul guilty Monday of 35 counts of conspiracy, solicitation to commit murder and providing material support for terrorism. The military has not said where al-Bahlul will serve his sentence. Al-Bahlul refused to defend himself in what he called a legal farce and said al-Qaida won't stop attacking America.

 DALLAS – Palestinian charities receiving millions of dollars from the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) were controlled by Hamas throughout the time they received the Texas-based charity's money, a lawyer for the Israeli Security Agency testified Wednesday and Thursday. That opinion is based on the presence of Hamas leaders and activists serving in "key leadership roles" on the committees and the committees' work advancing the terrorist group's goals, said the lawyer, testifying anonymously under the pseudonym "Avi." He has been accepted as an expert witness on Hamas financing and social programs based upon his years of research in Israeli criminal probes. And his opinion is based further on the presence of internal Hamas documents and propaganda items hyping the group in charity offices - even schools. Five former HLF officials are accused of conspiring to provide material support to Hamas, largely through donations to Palestinian charities, known as zakat committees, which prosecutors say are controlled by Hamas. Avi, expected to be the final prosecution witness, is tasked with proving that connection. Read more ...Source: IPT News
DALLAS – Cradle-to-grave social support - from kindergartens to medical supplies to aid for needy families - helped Hamas win the hearts and minds of Palestinians and vault the terrorist group to power, an Israeli security official said Monday. "Avi," a lawyer with the Israeli Security Agency, was accepted as an expert witness on Hamas' financial infrastructure in the trial of five men accused of illegally funneling millions of dollars to the terrorist group. He was allowed to testify anonymously for security reasons. Spectators were cleared from the courtroom before his testimony and a camera feeding the proceedings to a second courtroom was covered. Avi described his research into Hamas' finances and social systems in the course of Israeli investigations dating back to 2000. He prepared a Power Point presentation showing how Hamas social programs serve Palestinians throughout all phases of the life cycle. Hamas runs kindergartens, primary and high schools and universities, Avi said. They provide medical supplies and cash support for the families of men imprisoned by Israel, killed by Israeli soldiers or who died carrying out terrorist attacks. Read more ...Source: IPT News
