A SAUDI CONNECTION TO TERROR IN AMERICA? Go figure:

A secretive group of tightly connected Muslim charities, think tanks and businesses based in Northern Virginia were used to funnel millions of dollars to terrorists and launder millions more, according to court records unsealed yesterday. . . .

The probe of the Herndon groups is the largest federal investigation of terrorism financing in the world, authorities have said. And the unsealing of Kane’s report marks the first time the government has alleged the main purpose of the Virginia organizations, set up primarily with donations from a wealthy Saudi family, was to fund terrorism and hide millions of dollars.

(Emphasis added.) The big news isn’t that Saudis are funding terror, which has been obvious for a long time. It’s that here — and with the FBI story from yesterday — the U.S. government is admitting it. This suggests to me that the next phase in the war is starting.
