Jurors have reached a verdict in the second trial of a Muslim charity accused of helping to finance terrorism in the nation's largest such case since the Sept. 11 attacks.

The verdict was to be announced Monday afternoon, on the eighth day of deliberations in the retrial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. It was once the nation's largest Muslim charity.

Holy Land is accused of giving more than $12 million to support the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which the U.S. designated as a terrorist organization in 1995.

Jurors were to read a long list of verdicts on more than 100 charges against Holy Land and five of its former leaders.

More, and what a great verdict. Of course it remains to be seen if they are punished. That'd be racist.

One of the sons of one of the convicts is named Jihad Elaydi. Yea, no fanatics in that bunch. Riiight. The son is not a kid either, but more than old enough to shave, although it appears he doesn't.

Zolfa Elaydi (center) is comforted by her son, Jihad Elaydi, as she and her daughter, Fidaa Elaydi, weep outside the Earl Cabell Federal Building on Monday in reaction to the guilty verdicts in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing case.
