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.

I want to include the new Mosque being built in Irving, Texas north of 183. Not much has been posted on this building but this is something I feel needs to be monitored until we know what its ties are! Especially since not much is known about it!
