Squeezing Hamas Funders

While waiting for jurors in Dallas to decide whether officials at the Holy Land Foundation illegally funneled millions of dollars to Hamas, it's worth noting that a leading British bank is cracking down on a similar Hamas support arm.

Interpal is claiming that a decision by Lloyd's TSB to cut off its accounts next month could lead to the charity's closure.

The U.S. Treasury Department designated Interpal as a terrorist entity in August 2003, saying it was used "to hide the flow of money to HAMAS." But the British government so far has declined to act in kind. The United Kingdom Charity Commission is investigating Interpal for a third time

Here is a good summary of Interpal and the British investigations.
