One of the ringleaders of the Hamas-linked Muslim “charity” called the Holy Land Foundation has been sentenced to 65 years in prison.

DALLAS (AP) — A founding member of what was once the nation’s largest Muslim charity was sentenced to 65 years in prison Wednesday for funneling millions of dollars to the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Shukri Abu Baker, 50, of Garland, Texas, was the first of five members of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development to be sentenced. Mohammad El-Mezain, 55, was later sentenced to 180 months for one count of conspiracy to support a terrorist organization.
