Saudi school director fined for failing to report child abuse

The head of a Saudi-funded Islamic school in northern Virginia has been convicted of failing to report suspected child abuse.Abdalla Al-Shabnan is director of the Islamic Saudi Academy, which has been accused of promoting religious intolerance.He was fined $500 after admitting that he failed to inform authorities about suspected sexual abuse of a five-year-old girl who attended the school's campus in Fairfax, near Washington, DC.As part of a plea bargain, prosecutors dropped an obstruction of justice charge, which could have carried up to a year in jail. The charges against Al-Shabnan provided fuel to the school's critics, who say it teaches an intolerant strain of Islam that is prevalent in Saudi Arabia.
