It started in late 2006, with the arrest of 33 people nationwide on immigration fraud charges. That 33 included two prominent Massachusetts Imams -- Masood and Hannan. Miss Kelly and I started covering the case back then, including a petition in support of the government officials for their efforts on our behalf (thanks again to all those who signed).

The Masood saga may be coming to an end, as he is reported to be leaving the country with his family on August 2nd, and the Boston Muslim American Society and the Islamic Council of New England held a goodbye fund-raiser for him last night.

Miss Kelly reports the details here.

At last report Imam Hannan was still blissfully Imaming.
