Federal agents have raided the U.S. branch of a large Saudi-based charity, founded in Northern Virginia by a nephew of Osama bin Laden, in connection with a terrorism-related investigation, law enforcement sources said yesterday.
The raid Friday on the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) in Alexandria was carried out by agents of the FBI, U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the sources said.
In a statement last night, WAMY said that all of the office's files and computer hard drives were seized and that a volunteer WAMY board member was arrested on immigration charges.

Maybe we've been watching them real close and gathering a lot of useful leads. Notice that there have been a number of arrests in the last few days.

Notice that there have been a number of arrests in the last few days. And I'm thinking 6/11 will be a nice quiet day because of it.
