Clinton blocked freeze on funds
In December, after nine years of surveillance, federal agents shut down the Holy Land Foundation and froze its assets. Holy Land calls itself the nation's largest Muslim charity, but U.S. officials say its funds went to Hamas, the Palestinian group with a long record of terrorism. Why, then, wasn't Holy Land shut down earlier? FBI veterans tell our David E. Kaplan that they were ready to move on the group back in 1997 but were stopped by top officials at Justice and the Clinton White House. "They didn't want to come off as Muslim bashers," says a source close to the investigation.
