NEW YORK — A Yemeni immigrant ice cream shop owner was found guilty Wednesday of illegally funneling $21.9 million overseas in a case stemming from a major terrorism investigation.

Hit 'em where it hurts.

Elfgeeh was not charged with any terrorism-related crime although prosecutors said his business was used by a Yemeni cleric convicted earlier this year of a scheme to fund Al Qaeda (search) and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Al Qaeda comingles its terror funds with Hamas? Gee, who'd a thunk it?

[Cougar66]

He meant to tell the judge he funds them with ice cream cones!!!!

[Cougar66]

that whole neighborhood is crawling with terror supporters I suspect

I'm in the wrong business... I never considered ice cream. I mean who knew?

[aardvark1]

How sad that someone would use ice cream as a cover! Will I ever be able to eat ice cream again? When I was growing up, it was a pizza place being used to launder drug money and I've never eaten pizza since.

Oh wait, yes I have. So I guess I can still eat ice cream too. Whew!

For a moment, I hoped that they had got Ben & Jerry

[joesnuffy]

Hmmmm perhaps someone has been paying a little too much
for their ice cream cones.....

What's worse, his "nonfat" yogurt was found to have fat in it.

Burger King depicted the lce cream cone and Allah connection on their "swirl" label. What did they know and when did they know it?

[bk1000]

Probably from that same Nigerian dude that sent me an email. I told y'all it was for real!

"funneling $21.9 million overseas"

Yumpin Yeminis!

Hold his head in 10 gallon of melted ice cream until he inhales.

"The money that went overseas came from hardworking immigrants looking to buy homes, purchase business equipment and support their families, the lawyers told the jury."

This article says the money came from hard working immigrants but doesn't say where it goes. I would doubt that it did come from immigrants and would wonder where it is going. This story doesn't make sense.
