Amerikanska myndigheter har beslagtagit den s k Alavi Foundations miljardförmögenhet.
(Justitiedepartementets pressmeddelande)
Den består bl a av en skyskrapa på 650 Fifth Avenue
i New York och fastigheter över hela USA. Många av
dem används som moskéer.....
In addition to the skyscraper, the Alavi Foundation
owns four "Islamic Education Centers" in Potomac,
Md.; Queens, N.Y.; Houston, Texas; and Carmichael,
Calif. The Maryland property alone is valued at more
than $5.7 million, according to real estate records.
The Houston property is worth an estimated $3.2
million.
In Queens, N.Y., the foundation has pumped more
than $10.4 million into its Imam Ali Islamic Education
Center since March 1991. The foundation has an
assortment of other real estate holdings around the
country, including 20 acres of prime development
land in Catharpin, Va., assessed at $1.9 million but
potentially worth several times that amount to
developers.
Alavi Foundation härstammar från shahens stora väl-
görenhetsstiftelse Pahlavi Foundation, vars tillgångar
uppskattades till mellan 3 och 12 miljarder dollars.
Efter mullornas statskupp 1979 konfiskerades stiftelsen
och styrelsen byttes ut mot mullahtrogna iranier.
Istället för välgörenhet gick miljarderna till spridning
av islamism och naturligtvis en slant i mullornas
många mullor till mångmiljonärer....

Alavi Foundation har i över 25 år finansierat islamistisk
extremistverksamhet, framförallt i USA.
Förutom en mängd "kulturcentra" och moskéer med
mullor utsedda av regimen i Tehran, har den använts
till att ge "bidrag" till mutbara politiker och skribenter.
Nyligen avslöjades att expresident Clinton fått
30.000 dollars av stiftelsen 2006.

Bland stiftelsens mera kuriösa verksamheter har
varit att ge ut en muslimsk encyklopedi och köpa
ett flygfält i Tyskland....

Myndigheternas tillslag mot stiftelsen sker enligt lag-
stiftningen mot terrorfinansiering. Det finns också väl-
grundade misstankar att stiftelsen är inblandad i stora
inköp av utrustning till regimens kärnvapenprogram.
Samtidigt strider ett antal anhöriga till offer för Iran-
finansierade terrordåd för att tvinga regimen betala
stora skadestånd.
Steven Flatow is a New Jersey businessman whose
20-year-old daughter Alisa was killed by a terrorist
bomb in the Gaza in 1995. He sued the government
of Iran, alleging it sponsors terrorism, and won a
judgment of $225 million — but he has not collected
a dime because of the constraints of international law.

amerikanska domstolar många år framåt. Ägande-

är en stor härva med bl a terrorfinansierande
