A former US congressman and delegate to the United Nations has been indicted, accused of being part of a terrorist fundraising ring.
The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of the Islamic American Relief Agency.
The ring allegedly sent more than £65,000 to an al Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened American and international troops in Afghanistan.
