NEW YORK - (KRT) - A prominent Yemeni cleric is suspected of raising money for terrorists at a Muslim charity and several mosques in Brooklyn, it was disclosed yesterday.

An FBI agent pulled back the veil on a secret investigation of Sheikh Abdullah Satar at the trial of an associate who is charged with lying about the cleric's activities.

The agent, Brian Murphy, said in Brooklyn Federal Court that Satar was under surveillance during a fund-raising swing through Brooklyn in early 2000.

At the time, the feds were conducting an investigation into the financing of terrorist groups.

After Satar - a parliament member in Yemen - left the U.S., he flew to Milan to meet "the No. 1 operative for al-Qaida in Italy," according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Moore.

Then, Murphy said, Satar gave a speech at the Muslim Institute of Milan blasting the U.S. for prosecuting a terrorist to curry favor with Jews.
