(AP) -- FBI agents searched the home of a prominent Islamic community leader and critic of the war in Iraq on Monday, three days after bureau officials met with community members at a local mosque in an effort to improve relations with mid-Missouri Muslims.
A dozen agents searched the home of Shakir Abdul-Kaf Hamoodi and his wife, Lamya Mukhlef Najem, an FBI spokesman said. Agents arrived at Hamoodis' southwest Columbia home about 8 a.m. Monday and removed boxes and computer equipment throughout the day, neighbors said.
FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza declined to reveal the reasons for the search. The search warrant has been sealed.
Also Monday, federal agents raided the offices of a Southfield, Mich., Muslim charity organization, Life for Relief and Development
