Ismail Selim Elbarasse, 51, an accountant from Falls Church, is in prison in New York for refusing to appear before a grand jury investigating money-laundering. Agents are reviewing the funds handled by Elbarasse, including bank accounts he shared with Marzook. Before he was jailed, Elbarasse worked as comptroller of the Islamic Saudi Academy, a Saudi-financed school under construction in Loudoun County. Elbarasse's lawyer, Stanley Cohen, said his client is "a freedom fighter without a gun," and accused the FBI of running a "witch hunt" to discourage Muslims from sending money to areas under Palestinian control.

"Second man held on contempt charges is ordered released
NEW YORK -- A second man jailed for failing to testify before a grand jury probing U.S. fund raising by the militant Islamic group Hamas was ordered released on Monday.
U.S. District Judge Michael B. Mukasey said it "appears likely that further coercive imprisonment" of Ismaeil Elbarasse would not lead him to cooperate with the investigation even though he has been granted immunity. It was unclear exactly when Elbarasse would be released."
