Charity Sues Federal Government for Freezing Its Assets

The charity Kindhearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development, in Toledo, Ohio, sued the federal government this week in response to the Treasury Department freezing the group’s assets in 2006, reports the Associated Press.

The government accused the group of funneling money to organizations affiliated with the militant Islamic group Hamas. The group denies any connection to Hamas and says it hasn’t been given a chance to defend itself. The Treasury Department did not comment.
