ABC News: Saudi Charity Remains Open Despite Order

ABC News: Saudi Charity Remains Open Despite Order: "RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Oct. 14, 2004 � A charity that Washington accuses of helping finance terrorist activities was still open Thursday the deadline that the government ordered for its operations to be dissolved and an official said employees do not know when their last day of work will be.
The official, who would not give his name, said the Riyadh-based al-Haramain Foundation has been notified of the government decision to close it, but a committee entrusted with setting a time for the closure had not decided when that day will come.
'Come here Saturday, come here Sunday and you will see employees reporting to work,' the official said. 'The closure cannot happen with the push of a button.' "
