Muslim leaders have accused the FBI of conducting an "anti-Muslim witch hunt" following a raid on the Texas offices of a Middle East internet service provider.

An 80-strong US terrorism task force searched the Texas offices of Infocom Corporation on Wednesday and Thursday.

The company is host to a number of Arabic websites, including that of the Arab world's leading independent television news channel.

"American Muslims view the action as just one of a long list of attempts by the pro-Israel lobby to intimidate and silence all those who wish to see Palestinian Muslims and Christians free themselves of a brutal apartheid-like occupation," said a statement by a coalition of Muslim groups.

The FBI has denied any anti-Arab bias, saying the raid was "one aspect of a two-year investigation that is ongoing".

Websites shut down

Agents from the FBI and other federal agencies searched computer files at the company's headquarters, taking boxes out of the building.

 

Infocom said the raid resulted in a temporary shutdown of websites it hosted for about 500 customers, including that run by Al-Jazeera television and the newspaper Al-Sharq, both based in the Gulf state of Qatar.

A lawyer for Infocom said the company had no links to terrorist groups and was co-operating with the FBI.

He said many of the sites were able to start up again on other servers, while the office remained sealed off by FBI agents.

"We have nothing to hide. We are co-operating 110 % with the FBI," said lawyer Mark Enoch.
