Hamas-linked cleric took part in FBI outreach effort - Washington Times

Hamas-linked cleric took part in FBI outreach effort - Washington Times: "The FBI on Thursday defended its inclusion of a Chicago Muslim cleric tied in the past to the terrorist groups Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood in a group that recently visited the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and FBI headquarters.

Ross Rice, FBI spokesman in Chicago, acknowledged in an interview that Kifah Mustapha, imam of the Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview, Ill., was named as an unindicted co-conspirator during a Hamas funding trial six years ago.

However, Mr. Mustapha 'has never been convicted of a crime and never charged with a crime,' Mr. Rice said."
