InfoCom was the target of a three-day search by a federal terrorism task force in early September 2001.
Infocom provided Web support for Islamic groups around the world and its offices were across the street from the Holy Land Foundation, which was also investigated by federal authorities.
The Holy land Foundation was closed in December 2001 after the Treasury Department accused it of being a front for the terrorist group Hamas.
More information on the arrested is expected Wednesday afternoon from a news conference with the U.S. attorney general, the Justice Department and the FBI.
