Washington ? The Justice Department announced the indictment Thursday of two men on charges of financially supporting and helping to recruit terrorists — including an unidentified U.S. citizen believed to be “dirty bomb” suspect Jose Padilla.

A federal grand jury in Miami charged Adham Amin Hassoun and Mohamed Hesham Youssef, who are in custody on other charges, with raising money to wage an Islamic holy war in places such as Somalia, Afghanistan, Chechnya and Kosovo starting in the mid-1990s.

Hassoun also goes by the name “Abu Sayyaf,” and Youssef is sometimes known as “Abu Turab,” the government said.

The indictment alleged that Hassoun, a Palestinian national living in Florida, wrote a series of checks between 1994 and 2001 totaling more than $53,000 to unindicted co-conspirators and organizations including the Holy Land Foundation and the Global Relief Foundation, which the U.S. government accuses of having ties to terrorist groups.

The Holy Land Foundation and seven of its leaders were indicted in July on charges of providing material support to the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Hassoun, a computer scientist who came to the United States in the 1980s to study, already has been charged with lying to immigration officials about his recruiting activities and illegal possession of a firearm. He is in custody in Florida. Youssef is serving a sentence in Egypt for “other terrorist activities,” the government said.

The 10-count indictment, announced by Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft, points to a long-running investigation that included surveillance and wiretapping in the late 1990s.

The indictment cited numerous conversations between Hassoun and Youssef from 1996 to 2000, including one in 2000 in which they discussed support for the travel and terrorist training of the unnamed U.S. citizen who had gone to the “area of Osama.”

Ashcroft declined to name the co-conspirator, but said the man traveled to a terrorist camp under the auspices of Osama bin Laden and returned to the United States in May 2002 — dates that match the travel of Padilla.
