"A similarly false allegation that the government seeks this Court's approval to put before the jury is an accusation that came from Matt Tyson, a person who by the government's own description was an Uestranged fonner Elgindy business associate" and who was at the time involved in a lawsuit against Mr. Elgindy. (Gov't Mem. at 13.) Tyson reported, among other things, that Mr. Elgindy had donated $5000 to an organization called "Mercy USA," an organization he believed was previously known as "Mercy International." (A Confidential 0062.) While Tyson originally described this organization as a "charity to benefit children in developing nations," he soon thereafter advised the FBI that a published letter he had viewed indicated that Mercy International "purchased the vehicles that were used by Osama Bin Laden to bomb the U.S. embassies both in Kenya and Tanzania." (Gov't Mem. at 15-16; A 3681.) The implication that Tyson apparently hoped to suggest through his reports -that Mr. Elgindy had contributed to a charity that supports terrorism -turned out to be false. As indicated in a later FBI 302, Mercy International Relief Agency, the terrorist-supporting-organization, and Mercy "International-USA, the legitimate charity, were separate and distinct entities and the FBI was "unaware of any association Elgindy might have with" the former.

A visit to the mercyusa.org web-site shows that Tyson's initial description was accurate: the Mercy organization to which a contribution was made under Mr. Elgindy's name helps children around the world and is funded by the U.S. government as well as the United Nations. investigatethesec.com

The government apparently intends to introduce to the jury the fact that the FBI was investigating three phone calls from Mr. Elgindy's home phone allegedly to numbers in Germany, including one call on September 11, 2001. (A Confidential 0098.)1 Based on recent conversations and the description ofthe phone calls on page 20 of the government's memorandum, our best understanding is that the government apparently continues to view these calls as suspicious and significant because certain Al Qaeda operatives involved in the September 11 th attacks operated out ofHamburg, Gennany. What the government apparently has never learned, and what they easily could have discovered, is the ironic fact that far from being calls to terrorists in Gennany, these calls were to Ms. Elgindy's sister and her brother-in-law, who at the time was serving in the United States Anny stationed in Gennany. In fact, among the documents seized by the government when searching Mr. Elgindy's home was the rolodex of Mr. Elgindy's wife, which shows that the phone numbers the government is alleging were terrorist-related investigatethesec.com
