Five leaders of the foundation, then the largest Muslim charity in the United States, were convicted on 108 counts of providing material support to Hamas, money laundering, and tax fraud.A 1991 document known as the Explanatory Memorandum, recovered by the FBI, described the Brotherhood\u2019s work in North America as \u201ca grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and \u2018sabotaging\u2019 its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers.\u201dLara Burns, the retired FBI special agent who led the Holy Land Foundation investigation, told the subcommittee that the Council on American-Islamic Relations was named as an unindicted coconspirator in the 2008 case and has never formally disavowed the Holy Land Foundation.When asked whether evidence from that prosecution would still place the group on a list of organizations warranting further investigation, she answered, \u201cIt would.\u201d She added that the underlying conspiracy still exists and the threat is growing.Kyle Shideler, a counterterrorism analyst, told lawmakers that documents from the Holy Land Foundation case showed that at one time, one in every four American mosques was under the influence of the Hamas-linked North American Islamic Trust.Cruz concluded the hearing by stating that the network\u2019s institutional presence \u2014 through nonprofits, taxpayer-funded grants, campus organizing and legal advocacy \u2014 requires accountability \u201cno matter how many tax exemptions, charitable registrations or civil rights letterheads they hide behind.\u201dHe called on the Justice Department, the Treasury Department, and the FBI to act on the evidence presented.In Toulouse, the two officers were both treated for non-life-threatening injuries after the Monday attack. Local authorities continue to investigate the precise circumstances and any broader connections while the suspect remains in custody.","og_url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243","og_site_name":"Blue Route Journal","article_published_time":"2026-08-13T05:38:49+00:00","author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19da116f8d79cf8987781569801c6b7c"},"headline":"Knife-Wielding Attacker Shouts \u2018Allahu Akbar,\u2019 Stabs Police Officers","datePublished":"2026-08-13T05:38:49+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243"},"wordCount":742,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/41b09bd5be34a20788ff46cacc9c7d16.avif","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243","url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2243","name":"Knife-Wielding Attacker Shouts \u2018Allahu Akbar,\u2019 Stabs Police Officers -
