"Got Two in Boston"

"Former officers of Islamic charity indicted on federal charges. (Hat tip: billindc.)"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BOSTON — Two former officers of an Islamic charity were indicted on federal charges accusing them of lying to authorities investigating the charity’s alleged ties to terrorist organizations.

Emadeddin Muntasser, the former head of Care International, and Muhammed Mubayyid, the group’s former treasurer, were arrested Thursday following their Wednesday indictment on charges of concealing information from federal agencies, conspiring to defraud the United States, and making false statements to the FBI. The charity is now defunct. ...

Muntasser, 40, of Braintree, the owner of the Logan Furniture chain and a Libyan national, was a founding president of the Boston-based charity Care International.

Mubayyid, 40 of Shrewsbury, Care’s treasurer, has been employed by Ptech Inc., a Quincy software firm that was in the news two years ago after federal agent searched its offices as part of an investigation into funding of terrorist groups. No charges were ever brought against Ptech or its officers."
