KindHearts- Terrorist arrest connection?

Saturday, February 25, 2006

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Documents seized by federal agents suggest that two of three Muslim men accused of plotting to kill American and allied soldiers may have ties to a Muslim charity suspected of funneling money to the militant organization Hamas.

Federal agents seized an invoice from the Toledo charity, known as KindHearts, from a travel agency where defendant Mohammad Zaki Amawi worked.

Agents also took a KindHearts binder from an address where defendant Marwan Othman El-Hindi lived.

Lists of items seized were filed yesterday in U-S District Court in Toledo.

The three suspects -- El-Hindi, Amawi and Wassim I- Mazloum -- were arrested last weekend. All have pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiring to kill Americans.
