We previously reported that the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) enables terrorists by downplaying, denying, and whitewashing the involvement of self-proclaimed Muslims in terroristic activities. It seems that a couple of members of CAIR went even further by aiding terrorists or training for a “holy war” against the United States.

ELASHI BROTHERS FOUND GUILTY OF DOING BUSINESS WITH TERRORIST

United States Attorney Richard B. Roper announced that three brothers who operated a family-run, Richardson, Texas, company that sold computers and Internet services mostly to customers in the Middle East, were convicted late yesterday in Dallas, Texas. Following an almost three-week long trial before the Honorable Sam A. Lindsay, United States District Judge, and after one full day of deliberation, the jury found Bayan Elashi, Ghassan Elashi, Basman Elashi, and Infocom Corporation each guilty of conspiracy to deal in the property of a Specially Designated Terrorist and conspiracy to
commit money laundering. In addition, Bayan Elashi and Ghassan Elashi were each convicted on 10 counts of dealing in the property of a Specially Designated Terrorist and nine counts of money laundering. Basman Elashi was also convicted on one count of dealing in the property of a Specially Designated Terrorist.

United States Attorney Roper said, “This conviction is a result of a tremendous effort by federal law enforcement to stop the flow of money that fuels international terrorism.” Roper continued, “The message of this verdict is clear — financing of terrorist organizations will not be tolerated by United States citizens. We in the United States stand tall against terrorism.”
