The assets of various branches of the Al-Haramain Foundation were frozen on March 11 , 2002 . On January 29th, 2004 the foundation was added to the United Nations list of groups whose assets are to be blocked due to suspected ties to Osama Bin Laden or his Al-Qaida network. The United States has held several suspects in the War On Terrorism on the grounds that they had worked for or volunteered for the Al-Haramain Foundation: The U.S. branch of Al-Haramain Foundation filed a lawsuit on February 28 2006 . The suit asserted that the Bush administration had circumvented the US Constitution by authorizing Warrant less Wiretap s. They asserted that the President lacked the authority to authorize wiretaps that circumvented the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act . Three individuals whose conversations were intercepted, Suliman Al-Buthe , Wendell Belew and Asim Ghafoor , learned of the eavesdropping when U.S. officials accidentally delivered transcripts to them. Al-Buthe, who had been the Foundations U.S. director, had moved to back to Saudi Arabia. Belew and Ghafoor were two of the Foundation's U.S. lawyers. Tom Nelson , another Foundation lawyer, filed the lawsuit. Court records show he filed a motion to place the relevant material under seal. SEE ALSO REFERENCES |
