Jury selection begins in Fla. terror finance case

MIAMI (AP) — Jury selection began Wednesday for the trial of an elderly Muslim cleric and his son on charges they funneled tens of thousands of dollars to the Pakistani Taliban terrorist organization, which has targeted U.S. interests with violence in this country and overseas.

Prospective jurors were handed detailed four-page questionnaires to fill out in the case of Hafiz Khan, 77, and his 26-year old son, Izhar Khan. The elder Khan was imam at a Miami mosque, and his son held the same post at a mosque in suburban Margate.
