Alexandria, Va. (AP) – Federal agents have raided the Alexandria headquarters of a Saudi-based charity founded by a nephew of Osama bin Laden.
Don’t leap to conclusions; the charity insists it is all about immigration.
The charity strongly denies any terrorist ties and says the government had told them the probe is focused only on “immigration issues.” The group acknowledged that bin Laden’s nephew, Abdullah bin Laden, was involved in forming its branch in Northern Virginia, it says people shouldn’t assume that means it has any terrorist connections.
