Federal officials on October 9, 2002 announced the indictment of Syrian-born Enaam Arnaout, the head of a U.S. Muslim charity, charging he used donations to fund terrorism around the world. Arnaout, shown in a photo released by the U.S. Attorney's office May 13, has been in custody since last April, and is charged with engaging in a 'multinational criminal enterprise that for a decade used charitable contributions of innocent Americans -- Muslims, non-Muslims and corporations alike -- to support al Qaeda' as well as turmoil in Chechnya (news - web sites) and 'armed violence in Bosnia,' the Justice Department (news - web sites) said.
