BOSNIA The Illinois-based Benevolence International Foundation says it is a charity, but last week officials revealed that during raids in Sarajevo in March, police found evidence said to link the foundation and its head, Enaam Arnaout, right, to Osama bin Laden. Arnaout is being held in Chicago...
...told TIME. He has his suspicions, though. In a case now before a U.S. court, FBI investigators are arguing that Arnaout used his Illinois-based charity and its worldwide offices to fund terrorism operations, including Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda. Benevolence is the first charity to be criminally linked to international terror. It may not be the last.

The trouble is, the Company can occasionally come off as nothing more threatening?or awe-inspiring?than an international plate collectors' club. What's missing from "Trading Places" isn't a medicinal dose of political correctness, but the full drama of early capitalism...
