The U.S. attorney's office said that a Syrian national was charged after allegedly funneling more than $9 million in U.S.-funded humanitarian aid to terrorist organizations.
The groups included the Al-Nusrah Front (ANF), which is a designated foreign terrorist organization affiliated with al Qaeda in Iraq, the release said. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"This defendant not only defrauded the U.S. government, but he also gave the humanitarian aid he stole to a foreign terrorist organization," U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves said. "While this foreign terrorist organization fought with the cruel al-Assad regime, the people who were supposed to receive the aid suffered."
