ALBANY – A Muslim cleric arrested last week in Albany on terrorism-related charges sent as much as $18,000 to relatives in Iraq, wired another $1,300 to a man in Greece, and used a fake name to send a package, federal prosecutors revealed yesterday.
Yassin Aref, whose name was in an address book found in an Iraqi terror camp, and Mohammed Hossain of Albany pleaded not guilty in federal court yesterday to a 19-count indictment for money-laundering.
