Transferred money to Specially Designated Global Terrorist.

When Abdul El-Sayed talks about his mother, there’s something he leaves out. That she was Government Exhibit 349 (and a whole lot of others) in a case involving money being transferred to Al Qaeda, Hamas and other terrorist groups.
Here’s a blast from the past from 2004.
The FBI tonight is sorting through items seized from a Columbia office building this afternoon. The FBI served federal search warrants at the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA) on Cherry Street. The FBI arrived shortly after two o’clock this afternoon. They took boxes, computers, and file cabinets from the IARA. Law enforcement officials also changed the locks of three storage units across town at Columbia Storage on Hickory Street.
A statement issued by the John Snow, the Secretary of the Treasury says, “the international offices of IARA were providing direct financial support to Usama bin Laden, al Qaida, Hamas and other terrorist groups.” Special agent Jeff Lanza from the Kansas City bureau of the FBI says there is no need for citizens to worry about their safety.
The media interviewed Fatten Elkomy, El-Sayed’s mother, who claimed she was just trying to help little children.
