PROSECUTORS WANT JAIL TERM IN IRAQI CHARITY CASE

Federal prosecutors want at least a 24-year jail term for a Syracuse doctor found guilty of conspiring to violate US sanctions by sending money to Iraq through an illegal charity.

Now, for the first time, prosecutors are alleging a possible link between 57-year-old Doctor Rafil Dhafir and terrorism. A memo filed Monday says Dhafir poses a national security threat through his connections to terrorist organizations."
