Saudi Islamic Charity in Oregon Indicted for Alleged Fraud

By Evan Kohlmann

A federal grand jury in Eugene, Oregon  has returned a three-count indictment against the local branch of the Saudi Arabian Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation and two of its officers on charges of conspiring to defraud the U.S. government.   If convicted, the two men could face between eight to ten years in prison and the forfeiture of $130,000 in corporate assets held by the U.S. branch of Al-Haramain.  On Sept. 9, 2004, the U.S. Treasury Department named the Oregon branch of Al-Haramain as a specially-designated Al-Qaida terrorist front group and ordered its assets frozen.
