Judge: US Wrongly Froze Assets of Muslim Charity
------------------------------------------------



A federal judge has ruled the US wrongly froze the assets of a
Ohio-based Muslim charity three years ago. Kind Hearts for Charitable
Humanitarian Development was shut down after the US suspected it had
ties to the Palestinian group Hamas. But this week, US District Judge
James Carr said the move was illegal because the government failed to
provide the charity with any notice.
