WASHINGTON (AP) A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was
indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent
more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S.
and international troops in Afghanistan.
The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander, was
charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly
lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities
said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.
A 42-count indictment, unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo.,
accuses the Islamic American Relief Agency of paying Siljander $50,000 for the
lobbying money that turned out to be stolen from the U.S. Agency for
International Development.
Siljander, who served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, was
appointed by President Reagan to serve as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations
for one year in 1987.
