Feds to pay $2.5 million over 'terrorist' wiretaps

Pete Seda, left, who was head of the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, was convicted in October of tax fraud and conspiracy for helping another official with the group smuggle $150,000 out of the U.S. to Saudi Arabia in 2000. Seda's lawyers are preparing an appeal. A federal judge Tuesday ordered the U.S. government to pay more than $2.5 million in attorney fees and damages after he concluded investigators wiretapped the phones of a suspected terrorist organization without a warrant.
