Bail granted in US Hezbollah finance case
A judge has granted bail to a Miami businessman accused of exporting video game consoles and cameras to a South American mall that authorities say is a financing conduit for the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon.
The $1.5 million bail was set Monday for 56-year-old Khaled Safadi over the objections of prosecutors, who claimed he might flee the country. Safadi and two other men face charges of conspiracy, smuggling and violating a U.S. ban on doing business with the Galeria Page mall in Paraguay. (AP)
