Updated: 2:25 p.m. ET June 1, 2005June 1 - In a significant setback for the Bush administration's international crackdown on those it suspects of funding terrorism, Swiss prosecutors have "suspended" a long-running criminal investigation into Al Taqwa, an Islamic network that Washington believes has provided financing for Al Qaeda and other terror groups.




Youssef Nada, founder and head of Al Taqwa, told NEWSWEEK by telephone that his lawyer had received a letter from the Swiss federal attorney general's office earlier today informing him that an investigation which the office had launched in the weeks after the 9/11 attacks was to be closed. In an order issued earlier this year, a Swiss court had given the prosecutor's office until May 31 to either present the results of its investigation to a judge for further proceedings or close the file.

Mark Wiedmer, spokesman for the Swiss Attorney General's office in Bern, said that the investigation was not absolutely terminated but "suspended" because it could be restarted if new evidence was acquired by Swiss authorities. But Wiedmer acknowledged that prosecutors concluded that after three and a half years of investigation they could not put together enough evidence in time for the May 31 deadline to convince a federal investigating magistrate that a criminal case against Nada and Al Taqwa could be taken to trial. Hence the investigation had to be closed for now.
