Money-Transfer Case Against 6 Is Dropped
From Times Wire Reports
Federal prosecutors have dropped complaints against six Detroit-area men charged with transferring millions of dollars to Yemen, a Justice Department spokesman said.

The six were arrested last month in raids by federal agents on nine homes and businesses in Detroit and nearby Dearborn.
