Holy Land Foundation’s
assets frozen, offices raide
RICHARDSON (AP) —
The leader of a large Muslim
charity attended a mid-1990s
event where $207,000 was
raised for Hamas and the
keynote speaker urged the
crowd to “finish off the Israelis;
kill them all,” according to an
FBI memo.
The memo also detailed 1993
meetings between officials of
the militant Palestinian group
and the charity, the Texas-based
Holy Land Foundation for
Relief and Development, to dis
cuss fund-raising for the fami
lies of suicide bombers.
The Treasury Department
used the FBI memo as grounds
to freeze Holy Land’s assets and
raid its offices this week. Holy
Land officials denied the gov
ernment’s accusation that they
tunneled money to terrorists and
promised to fight the freeze.
Several prominent American
Muslim groups called on
President Bush to unfreeze Holy
Land’s assets and said shutting
down the foundation would
damage America’s credibility
with Muslims around the world
and raise the spectre of a gov
ernment attack on Islam.
Working closely with
Israeli intelligence, FBI inves
tigators concluded in a 49-
page report that Holy Land
leaders were Hamas members
and the charity was the pri
mary U.S. fund-raising organ
for the terrorist group.
The memo cited a previously
disclosed $210.0CX) donation to
Holy Land from Mousa Abu
Marzook, later identified
Israeli officials as a Hr duty at Pei
po 1 itical leader now in Sya
said Marzook designated
Land as Hamas’main
raising arm.
The memo cites an ini

of the Muslim Arab Y«
Association at a Los Anal
