• Views: 1,418

The government is going ahead with a second trial in the Holy Land Foundation case, in which the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) have been named unindicted co-conspirators: Holy Land retrial set for Aug. 18.

The retrial of five former Richardson charity organizers accused of financing Palestinian terrorists has been set for Aug. 18.

U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis, the new judge in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing case, set the retrial date this week, four months after the first trial ended in a hung jury.

The five men who stand accused of conspiring to send at least $12 million overseas to the Palestinian group Hamas are Ghassan Elashi, former Holy Land board chairman; Shukri Abu Baker, former Holy Land chief executive; Mohammad El-Mezain, the foundation’s original chairman; Mufid Abdulqader, a top fundraiser; and Abdulrahman Odeh, Holy Land’s former New Jersey representative.
