WASHINGTON - A Muslim activist whose Virginia home was searched as part of a federal investigation of terrorist financing has been arrested on charges of having illegal dealings with Libya.

A criminal complaint unsealed yesterday alleges Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi violated U.S. law by accepting, either personally or through the American Muslim Foundation he heads, $10,700 from the Libyan mission to the United Nations and by failing to disclose numerous trips to Libya on his passport.

Al-Amoudi is co-founder of the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, which helps the U.S. military select Muslim chaplains for the armed forces, a system that has recently drawn criticism from Congress following the arrest of a Muslim chaplain on suspicion of spying at Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba

This is the REAL NEWS not the Wilson garbage. Al-Amoudi gave Hitlery a sh**load of money for her senate campaign AND don't forget this Muslim chaplain thing started during the Clinton Administration. The Chaplains were given clearance at that time? or was it skimmed over as a PR thing.

Isn't this the same person who was a Clinton friend as well?

In August 2003, the affidavit said, customs officials in Great Britain found $340,000 in sequentially numbered $100 bills in al-Amoudi's luggage.

Al-Amoudi, who was not charged in that incident, told the officials that he received the money from an unknown individual at a London hotel after visiting the government-controlled Libyan Islamic Call Society based in Tripoli.

This is a major story.........who turned over $300,000 + to Al-Amoudi and what was this money earmarked for.......funding of a terror operation ........maybe?

[Dog]

Whole lot of money is changing hands...

[Miss Marple]

I wonder where the money came from...THAT is something I would be checking out!

Dog - isn't this the same person who was named yesterday in the article posted on FR who was a friend of Bill Clinton's?

At the time, I posted this would be a nail in the legacy coffin, but this article seems to be written to protect the Clintons.

Hillary Accepts Contributions from Boston Area Muslim Terrorist Supporters

No Easy Ride for Hillary!

Her reluctance to speak candidly is her biggest obstacle.

By Deroy Murdock, a columnist with the Scripps Howard News Service

As New Yorkers prepare to elect a new U.S. senator on November 7, Hillary Rodham Clinton remains hounded by twin suspicions about her honesty and commitment to Israel. Her plunging support among Jewish voters in a recent survey suggests that these nagging questions may be causing grave damage to her Senate candidacy.

Mrs. Clinton fueled these lingering doubts in November 1999 when she kissed Yasser Arafat's wife, Suha, immediately after Mrs. Arafat delivered a speech accusing Israel of murdering Arab children — with poison gas, no less. Mrs. Clinton said she did not understand the simultaneous translation of Mrs. Arafat's Arabic remarks. In any case, why the smooch? Given the PLO's legacy of violence, wouldn't a handshake have sufficed?

Mrs. Clinton sparked further questions when she claimed that she asked President Clinton to veto an anti-Israel resolution in the United Nations Security Council on October 7. The U.S. abstained instead. But did she really urge that veto, or simply concoct that story afterward to limit the damage to her candidacy after the abstention drew fire? Mrs. Clinton has been very uncomfortable discussing this matter. When I asked her about this at an October 17 Council on Foreign Relations meeting, she huffed: "That question does not even deserve a response. I have said everything about that I have to say."

Now Hillary Clinton has puzzled Jewish voters and friends of Israel with yet another stumble. The New York Daily News reported on October 25 that her Senate campaign has returned $50,000 collected at a Boston fundraiser attended by Muslims and Americans of Arab descent. The First Lady posed for photos holding a plaque given to her by the event's organizers. It expressed the appreciation of the American Muslim Alliance for her human-rights activism. Mrs. Clinton now says she didn't know the award was from the Alliance, even though the group's name was emblazoned on the trophy in large letters. "I get handed thousands of plaques," Mrs. Clinton now says. Alas for the First Lady, the American Muslim Alliance's national president, Agha Saeed, favors the Palestinian struggle for independence from Israel and believes the Palestinians "have the right to resist by armed force."

Mrs. Clinton has hosted events at the Executive Mansion "to which individuals opposed to the Mideast peace process and Israel's existence were invited," the Daily News reported. Her Senate campaign returned a $1,000 contribution from one of those visitors, Abduraham Alamoudi of the American Muslim Council. According to the Daily News, Alamoudi once declared: "We are the ones who went to the White House and defended what is called Hamas," the Palestinian terrorist group whose 1994-1996 suicide-bombing campaign killed 130 people and wounded some 600 others. Shortly after one of its bombs exploded in Jerusalem in August 1997, Alamoudi told Fox News about Hamas: "I think it's a freedom-fighting organization."

Mrs. Clinton's June 30, 2000 Federal Election Commission filing cited Alamoudi's May 25 donation of $1,000 to her war chest. Oddly enough, his occupation is not listed as "American Muslim Council" but "American Museum Council." The Clinton campaign calls this a typo. (To see Alamoudi's contribution record, search under his surname here.)

A reasonable voter might give another candidate the benefit of the doubt here. But this is the same Hillary Rodham Clinton who is associated with the "bureaucratic snafu" that led to Filegate.

This is the same First Lady whose Rose Law Firm billing records vanished for two years, then magically reappeared in the White House residence just days after the Resolution Trust Corporation concluded a Whitewater-related probe in which the records would have been relevant. "I do not know how the billing records came to be found where they were found," the First Lady shrugged back in January 1996.

This is the same woman who special prosecutor Robert Ray believes gave deceptive sworn testimony in the Travelgate affair. As Ray's October 18 report concludes: Mrs. Clinton "played a role in the decision to fire the [White House Travel Office] employees and…thus, her statement to the contrary under oath to this office is factually false."

As Bill Clinton's presidency wanes, a Hillary Clinton Senate term could be waxing around the corner. For now, her Republican opponent stands in the way. In a Zogby poll published October 31 in the New York Post, Rep. Rick Lazio led the Dutchess of Chappaqua 47.8 percent to 42.9 (margin of error: plus or minus 3.8 percent).

Mrs. Clinton's collapsing popularity among Jewish voters also spells trouble. On October 29, Zogby found her leading among Jews by 68.8 percent to 27.3 for Lazio. (Margin of error: plus or minus 4 percent). Two days later, in the aforementioned October 31 poll, only 46 percent of Jews favored Mrs. Clinton while Lazio's support climbed to 45 percent.

But the biggest obstacle between Hillary Clinton and her Capitol Hill dreams may be her reluctance to speak candidly about the scandals that nip at her heels like Park Avenue poodles. New Yorkers soon may decide that they deserve better in the Senate than a politician's wife who parachuted into the Empire State with ambitions nearly as awesome as her allergy to the truth

[GOPcapitalist]

These terrorist scumbags are always tied to the Democrats. We have another one of them who is close buddies and business partners with the current Democrat candidate for mayor of Houston, Bill White.

White's company is co-owned by a man who also happens to be the Vice Premier of Lebanon and had the following to say after 9/11:

"The Lebanese official position towards Hezbollah, which has popular backing, cannot be doubted and cannot be called neutral or unacceptable. Liberating the land cannot be considered a neutral position. It is a mistake to make a comparison between the al-Qaida network, which Lebanon has condemned and Hezbollah, which Lebanon considers a resistance party fighting the Israeli occupation. This is a mistake that cannot be accepted, because Hezbollah was behind the liberation of the parts of southern Lebanon that Israel had occupied for 22 years, during which (Israel) refused to implement UN Security Council Resolution 425. Hezbollah did not carry out any resistance operation against American interests in Lebanon or abroad and did not target civilians in its resistance activities as happened on September 11 at the World Trade Centre." - Issam Fares, Vice Premier of Lebanon, 10 November 2001, quoted by Agence France-Presse

But surprise surprise - the mainstream press REFUSES to touch the issue and wouldn't dream of outing their favored candidate on his ties to a terrorist supporter.

Terrorists are in charge of selecting muslim chaplins for the military and some wonder why there is a security problem at Gitmo.

[Sacajaweau]

When did this Wilson story "JUMP" into the latest news. Considering that it is "Old News", why now? Could it just be a Hillary diversion from the Al-Amoudi arrest which I'm sure she knew was coming. Notice that Chuck the schmuck spoke but not the "screecher creature".

She's sifting through those damn FBI files again.

[texasbluebell]

Oh, now I remember this guy. Or at least the incident with the hitlery senate campaign.

Yes, the campaign donation came from a "museum", that's the ticket.

[tubavil]

Could it possibly be, that years later the fedgov is actually realizing 'mainstream' muslim orgs are terror fronts???

Holy crap!
