Florida Imams arrested for aiding Pakistan Taliban


24 mins ago 


MIAMI (Reuters) - Three Pakistani-born U.S. nationals, including the Imams
of two Florida mosques, were arrested on Saturday on charges of financing
and supporting the Pakistani Taliban, U.S. officials said.


The three were among six charged in a U.S. indictment that accused them of
"supporting acts of murder, kidnapping and maiming in Pakistan and
elsewhere" carried out by the Pakistani Taliban, which Washington calls a
terrorist organization.


The indictment was announced by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District
of Florida and local FBI agents at a time when U.S. relations with Pakistan
are strained over the U.S. raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden
in Pakistan.


Pakistan's parliament on Saturday condemned the raid that killed bin Laden
and called for a review of relations with the United States.


Two of the accused, Hafiz Muhammed Sher Ali Khan, 76, and his son, Izhar
Khan, 24, were arrested in South Florida. Another son, Irfan Khan, 37, was
detained in Los Angeles.


Hafiz Khan is the Imam at the Miami Mosque, also known as the Flagler
Mosque, in Miami. His son, Izhar Khan, is an Imam at the Jamaat Al-Mu'mineen
Mosque in Margate, Florida, the four-count indictment said.


The other three charged, Ali Rehman, Alam Zeb and Amina Khan, were living in
Pakistan and still at large. Amina Khan is the daughter of Hafiz Khan and
her son, Alam Zeb, is his grandson.


"The defendants sought to aid the Pakistani Taliban's fight against the
Pakistani government and its perceived allies, including the United States,
by supporting acts of murder, kidnapping, and maiming in Pakistan and
elsewhere," said the indictment released by the U.S. attorney's office in
Miami.


If convicted, each faced a potential 15 years in prison for each count of
the indictment.


"Let me be clear that this is not an indictment against a particular
community or religion. Instead, today's indictment charges six individuals
for promoting terror and violence through their financial and other support
of the Pakistani Taliban," the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of
Florida, Wifredo A. Ferrer, said in a statement.


The Pakistani Taliban is classified as a "designated foreign terrorist
organization" by the U.S. government.
