Two American brothers are busted in a $1.7 million Hamas fundraising scheme.
Federal prosecutors say the men, who live in Louisiana, used a Gaza humanitarian aid charity as a front for actually raising money for the terrorists.
Abdel and Omar Adhami are now facing terrorism related charges.
Prosecutors say it was an online scheme that ran for the past three years. They are accused of setting up social media accounts promoting pro-Hamas and pro-Islamic Jihad messages and photos.
They were busted after contacting an undercover NYPD officer who went by the name Hussain online.
