SOUTHFIELD, Michigan Federal counterterrorism officials on Monday raided the suburban Detroit offices of an international Muslim humanitarian organization.
FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force agents executed search warrants at the headquarters of Life for Relief and Development in the Detroit suburb of Southfield.
The warrants were based on a criminal assertion, but the affidavits in support of the warrants are sealed, William Kowalski, an assistant special agent in the FBI's Detroit office, told the Detroit Free Press.
"The warrants have been signed off by a judge, and it pertains to an ongoing criminal matter," FBI spokeswoman Dawn Clenney told The Associated Press. She did not give additional details.
Agents hauled away documents, letters and ledgers starting at about 9 a.m., said Dawud Walid, head of the Michigan branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations. Walid said agents told officials at the charity that the raid was related to criminal activity.
"They're seizing documents," Walid said. "They haven't closed down the charity, they haven't filed any charges against the organization nor have they arrested anyone. It was totally unexpected and they're baffled."

"Islamic charity"
Now *there's* an oxymoron if I ever saw one.
You mean they didn't go in with guns drawn? Sad. /s
Full Steam Ahead , damb the mohamheadtoes!
The Feds should leave them alone. I'm sure they're not funding Islamic terrorism or anything else bad with their money.
I'm not certain, as I am unable to locate the source at the moment but I believe that this is one of the Islamic organizations that the Muslim, Keith Ellison, (D) Minnesota, running for U.S. Congress, accepted campaign contributions from.
Nothing on the mooselimb website yet about the raid, and a search for 'FBI' on site turned up nothing. ;>)
Speaking of Dawud Walid ...
NOVEMBER 2014 : (REPORT : CAIR-MI DIRECTOR DAWUD WALID TRIES TO LATCH ONTO THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE SHOOTING OF FERGUSON MO RESIDENT MICHAEL BROWN BY A POLICE OFFICER, LINKING IT TO THE UNRELATED DEATH OF DETROIT IMAM LUQMAN ABDULLAH) In November of 2014, Fox News reported on an effort by CAIR Michigan Director Dawud Walid to link the death of Michael Brown at the hands of police and the death of Luqman Abdullah, a Detroit imam shot during an FBI raid. Abdullah was described by the FBI as a leader of a nationwide Islamic organization known as ‘The Ummah,’ run by convicted cop-killer Jamil Abdullah Amin. Abdullah’s group engaged in criminal activity in order to raise funds in order for an effort to establish Sharia law in opposition to the U.S. government.” ---- Dallas and the Leftist/Islamic Alliance -- CAIR’s (and the Left’s) chickens come home to roost.

The links don’t work and I have done searches using the headline and can’t find it. I’d like to pass it on but need link.
Duh.... I just realized it’s from 2006. Sorry!
Let’s see, it’s 2006, therefore it’s George Bush’s fault. ;-)
