stated under
oath in a deposition in a separate civil suit that HLF had no relationship with
Marzook other than that single donation. Baker’s statements were untrue. The
evidence showed that the donation to which Baker referred was made in three
installments and occurred in 1992, but it was far from the only contact that
Marzook had with HLF and the individual defendants. Phone records showed
that Marzook called Baker 25 times from January 1989 to January 1990.
      There were also numerous financial transactions between the defendants
and Marzook. Contrary to Baker’s denial of a relationship with Marzook, HLF
made three payments of ten thousand dollars to Marzook and his wife in 1988
and 1989. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Marzook made payments of
hundreds of thousands of dollars to theHamed Bitawi and Mohamed Siam. Levitt and Avi identified both
men as senior Hamas leaders. The flier was written in English on one side and
in Arabic on the other side. However, only the Arabic side referred to Bitawi and
Siam.
        Wiretap evidence from 1999 further supported an inference that the
Palestine Committee was intimately involved in the activities of HLF. For
example, two 1999 conversations were intercepted involving Omar Ahmad, who
was a member of the Palestine Committee and was also associated with the IAP.
Ahmad was neither an employee nor a board member of HLF but he was heard
influencing HLF business. In Baker Wiretap No. 33, Ahmad instructed HLF
employee Haitham Maghawri, over Maghawri’s protest, to send money to
Lebanon because Baker had promised to give Ahmad $50,000
