Salah's long road to clear name

Attorneys for Mohammed Salah, who was acquitted of racketeering charges last week, have vowed to keep working to clear the name of the Bridgeview man deemed a terrorist by the federal government and to help his family lead a normal life.

"These good people have had their lives put through the wringer," longtime Salah attorney Matthew Piers said Friday. "We are not done fighting on behalf of this family."

Also hanging over Salah's head is a 1998 civil case filed by federal prosecutors in a bid to seize $1.4 million in cash and assets they claimed Salah meant to funnel to Hamas. That civil case was put on hold as a criminal probe into Salah's alleged Hamas links stopped and started over the years.
