Federal agents yesterday arrested a Virginia man on charges of operating an illegal Vienna-based money transfer firm that routed $23 million to Syria.
U.S. Attorney Paul J. McNulty said Louay Habbal, 45, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Syria, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at Washington Dulles International Airport after his arrival on a flight from Damascus, Syria.

Mr. Habbal advertised his business through a Web site called MenaExchange.com, which described the firm as a service provided by Mena First Capital, which transmitted funds between the United States, the Middle East and North Africa.
