Toledo-based charity with Hamas link padlocked
BLADE STAFF
A Toledo-based charity was padlocked today as the Treasury Department ordered U.S. banks to freeze its assets amid government charges it funnels money to the militant organization Hamas.
KindHearts, which has offices in the Westgate area of West Toledo, allegedly is connected with the Hamas-affiliated Holy Land Foundation and the al-Qaida-affiliated Global Relief Foundation, the Treasury Department said. The government took similar action against those groups in late 2001.
