Kilimanjaro is one of the world?s highest readily climbable mountains - all that is required to climb ?Kili,? as it is affectionately known, is a decent level of fitness and an iron will to succeed.

But U.S. sources tell TIME that intelligence shows movements of people, money and weapons to Muslim fighters in Bosnia financed by the charity as recently as 1999. It's clear that U.S. officials are not going to let the Saudis off the hook easily...
