“11 years for refusing to testify to grand jury in Hamas funding case”
The Associated PressPublished: November 21, 2007
CHICAGO:
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Abdelhaleem Ashqar, a former associate professor of business at Washington’s Howard University, showed no emotion as U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve imposed the sentence. But several relatives wept openly in the courtroom.
Ashqar was convicted earlier this year of criminal contempt and obstruction of justice for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating the Palestinian militant movement Hamas on June 25, 2003. But he was acquitted of taking part in a racketeering conspiracy aimed at bankrolling the terrorist group Hamas.”
Explosives found in Contra Costa County.
