Former worker for Muslim charity in Southfield accused of being Hussein spy

An Iraqi-American from Michigan who worked for a Southfield charity has been accused of working as a spy for the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein, according to a federal indictment unsealed today in U.S. District Court in Detroit.
Muthanna Al-Hanooti was charged with several counts, including conspiracy to work on behalf of a foreign government and making false statements to the FBI. Al-Hanooti used to work for Life for Relief and Development, a Muslim charity based in Southfield that works in Iraq and other countries. That charity was raided by federal agents in Sept. 2006.
According to the indictment, Al-Hanooti would travel to Iraq and meet with conspirators of the Iraqi Intelligence Service. The indictment says that Al-Hanooti was rewarded with 2 million barrels of oil for his work.
The indictment also alleges that Iraqi intelligence officials used an intermediary in Michigan to help fund a trip to Iraq taken by U.S. members of Congress in 2002.
Al-Hanooti was active in other local groups. He was former head of the Michigan branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations and the president of Focus on American and Arab Interests and Relations.

Nefarious double dealing is second nature to them.
They seem to become shady characters by way of their mother’s milk which is then further enhanced by lurking shiftily around bazaars and souks looking for the main chance opportunity that some witless rube will happen by.
It’s a great wonder that the British term spiv isn’t Arabic in origin……maybe it is; and it just means ‘normal’.

He looks just like the terrorists who attacked the Twin Towers in 1994, and the ones who took them down in 2001.
Yea, I profiled. Any of you moon god worshipers have a problem with that? I don’t CAIR.

I must say I am so glad I left Detroit–which is now referred to by many who still live there as the Gaza Strip. The place is fast becoming a hotbed!
