U.S Charges Hamas Leader & Other Militants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has announced criminal charges against Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other militants in connection with the Oct. 7 rampage in Israel. The criminal complaint filed in federal court in New York City includes charges of conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, resulting in death. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a video statement Tuesday that the charges “are just one part of our effort to target every aspect of Hamas’ operations.” He said “these actions will not be our last.” The impact of the case may be mostly symbolic given that Sinwar is believed to be hiding out in tunnels.
