H I C A G O, May 28 — A federal judge refused to grant bail Tuesday to an Islamic charity director charged with lying about ties to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Ian H. Levin said Enaam Arnaout has family in Saudi Arabia, numerous contacts and the motive and means to flee America.
Arnaout, 34, head of the Benevolence International Foundation, was returned to the government's Metropolitan Correctional Center where he has been held since his April 30 arrest.
