Founder of Islamic Charity Convicted :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism: "After a week-long trial, a federal court in Eugene, Oregon has convicted Pete Seda, the founder of an Islamic charity accused of funneling $150,000 to Chechen mujahideen.
Seda, also known as Pirouz Sedaghaty, was charged with conspiring to move money out of the United Sates without declaring it, as required by federal law, and with filing false tax returns to hide the fact that the money ever existed. According to federal officials, Seda accepted a large donation intended to support 'our Muslim brothers in Chychnia,' and then surreptitiously shifted the money to Saudi Arabia in the form of difficult to trace traveler's checks."
