A couple in Ohio was suspected of giving thousands of dollars to a mideast terrorist group. before getting caught the couples had planned to conceal 500,000 dollars so they could ship it to a terrorist group in Lebanon. The terrorist group they are accused of transfering money to is called Hezbollah. The couple faces more than one charge some of which being "conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years, and a fine of $500,000 upon conviction. The couple remains in custody until Tuesday when they will face the judge at their hearing. The husband in the couple had even traveled to Lebanon in March to start arranging how the money transaction would play out. I'm so glad that the police caught this couple. Stuff like this is soo ridiculous especially after things such as 9/11 happened here in the U.S. it seems like we always have to be watching our backs for shady people like this couple.
